  1. Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Volumetric Properties

  2. HMA Volumetric Terms • Bulk specific gravity (BSG) of compacted HMA • Maximum specific gravity • Air voids • Effective specific gravity of aggregate • Voids in mineral aggregate, VMA • Voids filled with asphalt, VFA

  4. Mass agg. and AC Vol. agg., AC, air voids Gmb = BSG of Compacted HMA • AC mixed with agg. and compacted into sample

  5. Testing • Mixing of asphalt and aggregate • Compaction of sample • Mass of dry sample • Mass under water • Mass saturated surface dry (SSD)

  6. Testing Obtain mass of dry compacted sample

  7. Testing Obtain mass of specimen at SSD

  8. Calculations • Gmb = A / ( B - C ) Where: A = mass of dry sample B = mass of SSD sample C = mass of sample under water

  9. Mass agg. and AC Vol. agg. and AC Gmm = Maximum Specific Gravity • Loose (uncompacted) mixture

  15. Example Calculations • Air voids: • Gmb = 2.222 • Gmm = 2.423 ( 1 - 2.222 / 2.423 ) 100 = 8.3 %

  16. Surface Voids Mass, dry Solid Agg. Particle Effective Specific Gravity Gse = Effective Volume Vol. of water-perm. voids not filled with asphalt Absorbed asphalt Effective volume = volume of solid aggregate particle + volume of surface voids not filled with asphalt

  17. 100 - Pb Gse = 100 - Pb Gmm Gb Effective Specific Gravity Gse is an aggregate property

  19. Gmb Ps Gsb VMA = 100 - Voids in Mineral Aggregate VMA is an indication of film thickness on the surface of the aggregate

  20. (2.455) (95) 2.703 VMA = 100 - Example Calculations • Given that Gmb = 2.455, Ps = 95%, and Gsb = 2.703 = 13.7

  21. VMA - Va VMA VFA = 100 x Voids Filled with Asphalt VFA is the percent of VMA that is filled with asphalt cement

  22. Ma = 0 Mb = Pb MT MT = Mb + Ms Mass Relationships Ms = Ps MT

  23. Gse - Gsb Gsb Gse Pba = 100 ( ) Gb Percent Binder Absorbed Pba is the percent of absorbed asphalt by mass of aggregate

  24. Pba 100 Pbe = Pb - Ps Effective Asphalt Content The effective asphalt content is the total asphalt content minus the percent lost to absorption (based on mass of total mix).
