- Electromagnetic technologies offer effective nondestructive sensing techniques for determining characteristics of pavement. The propagation of electromagnetic waves through thematerial depends on its dielectric properties. The following data, kindly provided by the authorsof the article “Dielectric Modeling of Asphalt Mixtures and Relationship with Density” (J. ofTransp. Engr., 2011: 104–111), was used to relate y = dielectric constant to x = air void (%) for18 samples having 5% asphalt content: y <- c(4.55, 4.49, 4.50, 4.47, 4.47, 4.45, 4.40, 4.34, 4.43, 4.43, 4.42, 4.40, 4.33, 4.44, 4.40, 4.26, 4.32, 4.34)x <- c(4.35, 4.79, 5.57, 5.20, 5.07, 5.79, 5.36, 6.40, 5.66, 5.90, 6.49, 5.70, 6.49, 6.37, 6.51, 7.88, 6.74, 7.08)(a) Obtain the equation of the least squares line and interpret its slope.1(b) What proportion of observed variation in dielectric constant can be attributed to the approximate linear relationship between dielectric constant and air void.(c) Does there appear to be…arrow_forwardProblem #1 The following figure shows the results from the dynamic modulus test for asphalt mixtures.

- Identify the following statement whether it is (True) or (False). If your answer is false, give the correct answer? 1- Dowel bars are generally provided across longitudinal joints of rigid pavement. 2- The migration of asphalt cement to the surface of the pavement under wheel loads especially at high temperatures is called stripping. 3- The lower the penetration of asphalt binder, the softer the asphalt binder. 4- We need to keep the aggregate for 24 hours in an oven at 105°C to obtain the aggregate dry weight. 5- It is important to design thicker layers of asphalt if the subgrade materials are not strong enough to withstand expected loads during their life cycle. 6- The medium curing asphalt is produced by blending asphalt with diesel oil.arrow_forwardQuestions 30 is based on the information below: An asphalt concrete mix design has the following properties. The densities of the binder and aggregate are 1.090 g/cm³ and 2.760 g/cm³, respectively. The bulk density of the entire mix is 2.220 g/cm³. The percent binder content is 6.2% (by weight). Assume no absorption. V₁= 1.0 cm³ Volume Vv Vb Vs AIR Binder Aggregate Mass Mb Ms Mt 30. As an engineer, you are asked to use this mix design for a 25 kilometer-long section of roadway where the total pavement width is 8.0 meters and the thickness is 15 centimeters.
