A batch plant mixes 80 tons of asphalt mix with an average mixing cycle time of 1 min. Plant efficiency is 90%. Estimate plant production in ton/hr. Assuming that you have a sufficient number of trucks to haul the asphalt to the job site, can this plant keep up with a paver moving at 2mph and laying down a 20’ lane of a highway job that is to be compacted to 6” thickness with a density of 150 lb/cf?

An aggregate blend is composed of 59% coarse aggregate by weight (Sp. Gr.2.635), 36% fine aggregate (Sp. Gr. 2.710), and 5% filler (Sp. Gr. 2.748). Thecompacted specimen contains 6% asphalt binder (Sp. Gr. 1.088) by weight oftotal mix and has a bulk density of 2305 kg/m3 . Ignoring absorption, computethe percent voids in total mix, percent voids in mineral aggregate, and thepercent voids filled with asphalt.
