State four different asphalt modifiers that can be added to asphalt or asphalt mixtures, and indicate the effect of each.
Define what is meant by temperature susceptibility of asphalt. With the help of a graph showing viscosity versus temperature, discuss the effect on the performance of asphalt concrete pavements. Are soft asphalts used in hot or cold climates?
Determine the percentage of voids filled with asphalt for a paving mixture with relative compaction equal to 96%. Asphalt content is 5.5% by total mix content and with specific gravity=1.03. The bulk specific gravity of the combined aggregate is 2.67. The maximum theoretical specific gravity of the mixture 2.48. The weight and volume of Marshall specimen = 1200g and 482. cm³ respectively.
