An aggregate blend is composed of 65% coarse aggregate by weight (Sp. Cr. 2.635), 36% fine aggregate (Sp. Gr. 2.710), and 5% fil

ler (Sp. Cr. 2.748). The compacted specimen contains 6% asphalt binder (Sp. Gr. 1.088) by weight of total mix, and has a bulk density of 143.9 lb/ft^3 Ignoring absorption, compute the percent voids in total mix, percent voids in mineral aggregate, and the percent voids filled with asphalt.

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Addition of all the materials = 65+ 36+ 5 +6 = 112  which is higher than 100 percentage; SO we need to find;

The actual percentage of each material which can be determined as follows:

Percentage of the coarse aggregate will be = 65 × 112/100

= 72.80%

Percentage of the Fine aggregate will be = 36 × 112/100

= 40.32%

Percentage of the filler  will be = 5 × 112/100

= 5.6%

Percentage of the   asphalt binder will be = 6 × 112/100

= 6.72 %

So; the theoretical specific gravity (Gt) of the mixture can be calculated as follows:

Gt = 100/( 72.80/2.635 + 40.32/2.710 + 5.6/2.748 + 6.72/1.088)

Gt = 100/( 27.628 + 14.878 + 2.039 + 6.177)

Gt = 100/ (50.722)

Gt =1.972

Also;Given that the bulk density = 143.9 lb/ft³

LIke-wsie ; as we know that unit weight of water is =62.43lb/cu.ft

Hence, the bulk specific gravity of the mix (Gm) = 143.9/62.43

=2.305

The percentage of air  void  = (Gt -Gm )× 100/ Gt

= (1.972 - 2.305) ×  100/ 1.972

= -16.89%

The percentage of the asphalt binder is =(6.72/1.088*100)/(72.80+40.32+5.6+6.72)/2.305)

= 617.647/54.42

= 11.35%

Thus; the percentage voids in mineral aggregate =  -16.89% + 11.35%

the percentage voids in mineral aggregate = -5.45%

The percent voids filled with asphalt. = 100 × 11.35/-5.45

The percent voids filled with asphalt = - 208.26 %

Answer:

A civil engineer.

Explanation:

Civil engineering is the science that deals with the design, creation and maintenance of constructions for civil use on the earth's surface. Thus, this specialty seeks to adapt soils to the needs of life in society, creating buildings, bridges, and all other constructions adapted to civil life, while taking care of the correct use of soils and the correct distribution of spaces and resources. to be used for such constructions.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

When a horse pull a cart the action is on?

A horse is harnessed to a cart. If the horse tries to pull the cart, the horse must exert a force on the cart. By Newton's third law the cart must then exert an equal and opposite force on the horse. Newton's second law tells us that acceleration is equal to the net force divided by the mass of the system.
