Standard Practice for Calculating Percent Asphalt Absorption by the Aggregate in Asphalt Mixtures

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The amount of asphalt absorbed by the aggregate contributes little or nothing to the durability of an asphalt pavement in service other than possibly providing greater resistance to stripping in the presence of water.

5.2 Percent asphalt absorption can be an indicator of changes that may occur in plant mix production during construction.

5.3 The calculated percent asphalt absorption can be used for calculating percent air voids during asphalt mixture design.
