In a Marshall test, the percentage of asphalt binder by total weight of aggregate is 5.0%. The bulk specifc gravity of aggregate (G3)=2.624, the specifc gravity of asphalt binder (G)=1.000, and the density of water (Y)=1.000 g/cm³. If the absorbed asphalt (Pa) is 2.00% by total weight of aggregate, and the voids in total mixture (VTM) is 4.0%, determine the following properties: a. The effective asphalt content (Pbe) b. The bulk specifc gravity of the compacted mixture (Gmb) c. The voids in mineral aggregate (VMA
