An asphalt concrete cylindrical specimen with a 4-in. diameter and a 6-in. height is subjected to an axial compressive static load of 150 lb for 1 hour, after which the load is removed. The test was performed at a temperature of 100°F. The height of the specimen was measured at different time intervals during loading and unloading for a total of 2 hours and produced the results shown in Table P1.29.
a. Using a spreadsheet program, plot the stress versus time and the strain versus time on two separate graphs.
b. How much is the elastic strain?
c. What is the permanent strain at the end of the experiment?
d. What is the phenomenon of the change of specimen height during static loading called? What is the phenomenon of the change of specimen height during unloading called?

- In a ready-mix plant, cylindrical samples are prepared and tested periodically to detect any mix problem and to ensure that the compressive strength is higher than the lower specification limit. The minimum target value was set at 5,000 psi. The compressive strength data shown in Table were collected. a. Calculate the mean, standard deviation, and the coefficient of variation of the data. b.
