Methodology

Asphalt density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Asphalt mixture bulk density depends on composition and air voids.

state: Compacted asphalt concrete mixture

method: Bulk volume includes air voids; distinct from maximum theoretical density

Source basis: FHWA, LTPP materials characterization, FHWA-HRT-06-066, chapter 2. Asphalt concrete: bulk and maximum specific gravity. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/research/infrastructure/pavements/ltpp/06066/chapt2.cfm Applicability: context-only.

Establish mixture identity, void content and density method.

For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 5,291.094 lb per m^3.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
