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.

Questions 30 is based on the information below: An asphalt concrete mix design has the following properties. The densities of the binder and aggregate are 1.090 g/cm³ and 2.760 g/cm³, respectively. The bulk density of the entire mix is 2.220 g/cm³. The percent binder content is 6.2% (by weight). Assume no absorption. V₁= 1.0 cm³ Volume Vv Vb Vs AIR Binder Aggregate Mass Mb Ms Mt 30. As an engineer, you are asked to use this mix design for a 25 kilometer-long section of roadway where the total pavement width is 8.0 meters and the thickness is 15 centimeters. What is the (a) total volume of binder and (b) the total volume of aggregate that you would need to purchase? Also, determine the (c) total %air voids in the mix.

Identify the following statement whether it is (True) or (False). If your answer is false, give the correct answer? 1- Dowel bars are generally provided across longitudinal joints of rigid pavement. 2- The migration of asphalt cement to the surface of the pavement under wheel loads especially at high temperatures is called stripping. 3- The lower the penetration of asphalt binder, the softer the asphalt binder. 4- We need to keep the aggregate for 24 hours in an oven at 105°C to obtain the aggregate dry weight. 5- It is important to design thicker layers of asphalt if the subgrade materials are not strong enough to withstand expected loads during their life cycle. 6- The medium curing asphalt is produced by blending asphalt with diesel oil.
