Asphalt Binders and Mixtures

Asphalt binders are subsidiary products procured during the refining process of petroleum while manufacturing gasoline, diesel, and similar petroleum products. Asphalt binders are obtained from the residue that remains after the distillation of petroleum, this residue is further subjected to steam distillation and oxidation to remove the traces of gas oil present in the residue. Certain additives or modifiers are also added to asphalt binders to alter them to suit different applications.

Question

An aggregate blend is composed of 65% coarse aggregate by weight (SG 2.65), 30% fine aggregate (SG 2.70), and 5% filler (SG 2.75). The compacted specimen contains 6% asphalt binder (SG 105) by weight of total mix, and has a bulk densit of 2.255 Mg/m&3. Ignoring absorption.

a. What is the percent voids fill with asphalt?
b. What is the percent voids in mineral aggregates?
