The core densities listed were obtained from a com- pacted asphalt concrete pavement: core A = 142.9 pcf, core B = 149.9 pcf, and core C= 143.4 pcf. Determine the percentage of compaction if the laboratory density of the mix was 147.1 pcf. Do any of the cores indicate potential problems with the pavement?

Q1A In a Marshall test, the percentage of asphalt binder by total weight of aggregate is 5.3%. The bulk specifc gravity of aggregate (G)-2.582, the specifc gravity of asphalt binder (G)=1.000, and the density of water 3 (Yw)=1.000 g/cm. If the voids flled with asphalt (VFA) is 70.0% and the effective asphalt binder (Pbe) is 4.0% by total weight of mixture, determine the following properties: a. The absorbed asphalt binder (Pba) b. The bulk specifc gravity of the compacted mixture (Gmb) c. The voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) d. The voids in total mixture (VTM) e. The theoretical maximum specifc gravity of the loose mixture (Gmm) The effective specifc gravity of the aggregate (Gse) ال
The following figure shows concrete pavement with the layer thickness and elastic modulus as indicated. Assume modulus of rupture of 650 psi, load transfer coefficient of 3.2, serviceability loss from 4.5 to 2.5, and drainage coefficient of 0.9. The bedrock depth and loss of support is not considered for the subgrade. Use the design equation or monograph with 50% reliability to solve the following: 1) Determine the number of ESAL that the pavement can carry before failure. 2) If the daily traffic has 1080 single axles (20-kip), 400 single axles (24-kip), and 680 tandem axles (40-kip), and the annul traffic is the same over the design period, how many years would the concrete pavement last before failure? 8-inch Portland Cement Concrete Ec=4×106 psi 8-inch Granular Subbase Ec=30,000 psi Subgrade Mr = 5000 psi
