An aggregate blend is composed of 65% coarse aggregate by weight (Sp. Gr. 2.85), 28% fine aggregate (Sp. Gr. 2.75), and 7% filler (Sp. Gr. 2.60). The compacted specimen contains 6% asphalt binder (Sp. Gr. 1.05) by weight of total mix, and has a bulk density of 142 lb/ft3. Compute the percent voids in total mix, percent voids in mineral aggregate, and the percent VMA filled with asphalt

In a Marshall test, the percentage of asphalt binder by total weight of aggregate is 5.26 percent. The bulk specific gravity of aggregate (Gsb) = 2.455, the specific gravity of asphalt binder (Gb) =1.020, and the density of water (w) = 1.000 g/cc. If the effective asphalt binder content (Pbe) is 3.6 percent by total weight of mixture, and the voids in mineral aggregate (VMA) is 14.0 percent by the total (bulk)volume of mixture, determine the following volumetric properties of...
