Chapter 5, Problem 5.42QP
A contractor is considering using three stockpiles for a Superpave mix design that requires evaluation of three different blend percentages. Determine the blended specific gravity for the three blends shown in Table P5.42.
TABLE P5.42
| Material | Gsb | Stockpile 1 | Stockpile 2 | Stockpile 3 |
| Crashed limestone | 2.702 | 45% | 55% | 50% |
| Blast furnace slag | 2.331 | 35% | 20% | 30% |
| Sand | 2.609 | 20% | 25% | 20% |
What is the bulk specific gravity of the blended aggregates?
