12. As part of mix design, a laboratory-compacted cylindrical asphalt specimen is weighed for determination of bulk specific gravity. The following numbers are obtained. Dry Mass in air=1264.7 grams Mass when submerged in water = 723.9 grams Mass of Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) = 1271.9 grams a What is the bulk specific gravity (Gmb) of the compacted specimen? (3 Marks) b. If the maximum theoretical specific gravity (Gmm) of the specimen is 2.531, what would be the air void content of the specimen in percent? (3 Marks)
