Chapter 5, Problem 5.24QP
Referring to Table 5.6, plot the specification limits of Superpave gradation with a nominal maximum size of 19 mm on a 0.45 gradation chart (Figure A.25). What is the maximum aggregate size of this gradation? Is this a dense, open, or gap graded gradation? Why?

a. For an aggregate sample, if you know that the apparent relative density is 2.72 and the water absorption is 1.2%. The dry mass of the aggregate is 514 gm. Find the bulk and saturated surface dry (SSD) relative density values?
b. Why does the maximum size of aggregate depend on the clear spacing between bars? Show with a simple sketch.
Note: Please answer both a and b... Please answer the both questions.. I don't want single b answer.. thank you
