Review ASTM D75 and summarize the following:a. Sampling aggregates from conveyer belts.b. Sampling aggregates from stockpiles.c. Sampling aggregates from roadway bases and subbases.d. If the nominal maximum aggregate size is 3/4 in., what is the minimum sample size that needs to be obtained?
Table below shows the sieve analysis test result for aggregates A and B and the specification limits for an asphalt concrete. Determine the blend proportion required to meet the specification and the graduations of the blend. On a semi-log gradation graph, plot the gradations of aggregate A, aggregate B, the selected blend, and the specification limits in a same graph (you can use Excel sheets or you can draw the graphs on a semi-log attached to page 3 of this assignment).
