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.

A pumping test was carried out for determining the hydraulic conductivity of soil in place. A well of diameter 40 cm was drilled down to an impermeable stratum. The depth of water above the bearing stratum was 8m. The well was 4 cu.m/min at a steady drawdown of 4.5m. Determine the hydraulic conductivity of the soil in m/day if the observed radius of influence was 150m.
