Instructions: Please provide complete solution for full credit and box final answer/s. Problem: An asphalt concrete mixture includes 94% aggregate by weight. The specific gravities of aggregate and asphalt are 2.65 and 1.0, respectively. If the bulk density of the mix is 147 pcf and absorption of asphalt through the aggregate is 1.5%, compute the percents' VTM, VMA, and VFA.

An asphalt concrete mixture is to be designed according to the Marshall procedure. A PG 64-22 asphalt cement with a specific gravity (Gb) of 1.00 is to be used. A dense aggregate blend is to be used, with a maximum aggregate size of 3/4 in. and a bulk specific gravity (Gsb) of 2.786. The theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mix (Gmm), at asphalt content of 4.5%, is 2.490. Trial mixes were made with average results as shown in Table . Using a spreadsheetprogram, plot the appropriate six graphs necessary for the Marshall procedure and select the optimum asphalt content, using the Asphalt Institute design criteria for medium traffic(see Table . Assume a design air void content of 4% when using Table
