Determine the recommended asphalt content according to Superpave Mix for an Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) of 10 millions. Ignore Dust to Binder (D/B) Ratio.
Lab 6 Laboratory Exercise on Asphalt Concrete
Determine the recommended asphalt content according to Superpave Mix for an Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL) of 10 millions. Ignore Dust to Binder (D/B) Ratio.
Given:
