Document Summary
March 30, april 6 & 20, 2017 april 27, 2017. The purpose of these astm d2041m 11 and astm d2726 tests are to determine the theoretical maximum specific gravity and density of bituminous paving mixtures. When mixing aggregates to form asphalt mixtures, a proper ration can be attained by using specific gravity and density relationships. Specific gravity tells how heavy a mixture is, and densities are used to calculate volume; both vital information when determining proper ratios for mixing and designing asphalt mixtures. The purpose of this aashto r35-09 test is to provide the steps and design process for hma superpave mixtures. This test uses aggregate and mixture properties to produce a satisfactory. Hma mix design that is based on the volumetric properties of the hma in terms of voids in the total mix (vtm), voids in the mineral aggregate (vma), and voids filled with asphalt (vfa).
