Given four different types of aggregates to be used to produce a blended aggregate for use in the manufacture of asphaltic concrete, determine the bulk specific gravity of the aggregate mix.
Given the specifications for an asphaltic concrete mixture and the results of a sieve analysis, determine the proportion of different aggregates to obtain the required gradation. Coarse aggregates: 60% Fine aggregates: 35% Filler: 5%
An existing rural 4-lane highway is to be replaced by a 6-lane divided expressway (3 lanes in each direction). Traffic volume data on the highway indicate that the AADT (both directions) during the first year of operation is 24,000 with the following vehicle mix and axle loads. Passengercars=50percent 2-axle single-unit trucks (12,000lb/axle)=40percent 3-axle single-unit trucks (16,000lb/axle)=10percent The vehicle mix is expected to remain the same throughout the design life of 20 years, although traffic is expected to grow at a rate of 3.5 percent annually. Using the AASHTO design procedure, determine the minimum depth of concrete pavement required for the design period of 20 years. Pi=4.5J=3.2Pt=2.5Cd=1.0Sc=650lb/in.2So=0.3Ec=5106lb/in.2R=95k=130lb/in.3
Repeat Problem 19-7 using two different depths of untreated aggregate bases of 6 in. and 12 in. Highway contractors in your area can furnish rates for providing and properly laying an asphalt concrete surface and untreated granular base. Assume a structural coefficient of 0.12 for the base course. If these rates are available, determine the cost for constructing the different pavement designs if the highway section is 5 miles long and the lane width is 12 ft. Which design will you select for construction?
In concrete work, Fuller and Thompson (1907) suggested that a dense packing of grains can be achieved if the percent finer (p) and grain size (D) are related by the following equation, where n is a constant varying in the range of 0.3-0.6. Dmax is the size of the largest grain within the soil. p=(DDmax)n100 This equation is sometimes used in roadwork for selecting the aggregates. a. For n = 0.5, show that the soil is well graded. b. If n = 0.5 and Dmax = 19.0 mm, find the percentages of gravel, sand, and fines within the soil. Use the Unified Soil Classification System.
Repeat Problem 20-12, with the slab containing temperature steel in the form of welded wire mesh consisting of 0.125 in.2 steel/ft width. The modulus of steel, Es, is 30106lb/in.2 , Ec=5106lb/in.2 , and h=6inches .
Two materials, A and B, are to be separated using two unit operations, 1 and 2. The feed has 10 tons/h A and 4 tons/h B. The split (fraction of material rejected by each operation) is given in Table P5-14. a. Which sequence of operations, (l?2) or (2?1), will yield the greatest recovery of material A? b. What will be the purity of material A using that sequence? c. What will be the efficiency of separation for the entire process train with regard to material A using the Worrell-Stesed equation?
