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?
