- Q3) You are required to determine if a certain asphalt can be graded as PG 58 - 28. What agingequipment and testing temperatures should use for the following tests? Explain the rational behind selecting the above testing temperatures.a) Dynamic Shear Rheometer for rutting analysis.b) Dynamic Shear Rheometer for fatigue cracking analysis.c) Bending Beam Rheometer for low temperature cracking analysis.d) Direct Tension Tester for low temperature cracking analysis.arrow_forwardIdentify the following statement whether it is (True) or (False). If your answer is false, give the correct answer? 1- Dowel bars are generally provided across longitudinal joints of rigid pavement. 2- The migration of asphalt cement to the surface of the pavement under wheel loads especially at high temperatures is called stripping. 3- The lower the penetration of asphalt binder, the softer the asphalt binder. 4- We need to keep the aggregate for 24 hours in an oven at 105°C to obtain the aggregate dry weight. 5- It is important to design thicker layers of asphalt if the subgrade materials are not strong enough to withstand expected loads during their life cycle. 6- The medium curing asphalt is produced by blending asphalt with diesel oil.arrow_forwardBinder grade of asphalt selected for a highway construction based on the temperature recordsfound to be PG70-16.
