Asphalt Binders and Mixtures

Asphalt binders are subsidiary products procured during the refining process of petroleum while manufacturing gasoline, diesel, and similar petroleum products. Asphalt binders are obtained from the residue that remains after the distillation of petroleum, this residue is further subjected to steam distillation and oxidation to remove the traces of gas oil present in the residue. Certain additives or modifiers are also added to asphalt binders to alter them to suit different applications.

Determine the suitability of the aggregate, with the gradation tabulated below, for use in Portland cement concrete. Review the grain size distribution to determine if it meets all of the relevant specifications for use in concrete (i.e. gradation limits, fineness modulus and % fines). Refer to the specification for concrete aggregates (Table 7 – 10) below: Grain Size (mm) % Passing Cum %Retained 25 100 19 100 12.5 100 9.5 100 4.75 95 2.36 85 1.18 55 0.6 30 0.3 15 0.15 8 0.075 6 Fineness Modulus - write answer to two decimal places Percent fines - write answer to the nearest whole number % Meets Gradation Limits? - y/n (only type lower case "y" for yes and lower case "n" for no) Suitable for use in portland cement concrete subject to abrasion? - y/n (only type lower case "y" for yes and lower case "n" for no)
In proportioning a concrete mix, the coarse and fine aggregates had the following properties respectively; Coarse: Dry weight: 800lb, 3,2% MC, 2.0% AC, Fine: Dry weight 350 lb, 1.2% MC, 2.9% AC. How much should the water be adjusted to account for the agregate moisture?
Coarse aggregate is placed in a rigid bucket and rodded with tamping rod. The volume of the bucket is 28,000 cm3 and the weight of the dry-rodded coarse aggregate is 200N. The bulk specific gravity of the aggregate is 2.72. Determine;a) the bulk unit weight of the aggregate, in kN/m3b) the percent voids between aggregate particle in the container.
When a sample subjected to the procedure of ASTM C40 produces a color darker than the standard color, Circular Disk No. 14 or Organic Plate No. 3 (Gardner Color Standard No. 14), the fine aggregate under test shall be considered to possibly contain injurious organic impurities. It is advisable to perform further tests before approving the fine aggregate for use in concrete. Identify that test to be performed.
