The wearing course of an asphalt pavement is compacted to density of 2.395 g/cm3 using 5.5% asphalt content by weight of total mix and specific gravity =1.04. Assuming that the absorbed asphalt equal to 0.8%by the weight of aggregate, and the bulk specific gravity of the aggregate is 2.66, determine if the compacted pavement is suitable for durability requirement or not?

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.
