About this document

AASHTO T166: Bulk Specific Gravity Test by Donnabel Cale is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document outlines three methods (A, B, C) for determining the bulk specific gravity of compacted bituminous mixtures used in pavements. Method A involves coating specimens with paraffin and weighing them both in and out of water. Method B involves directly weighing uncoated specimens both dry and submerged. Method C is a rapid test that involves separating and drying specimens before weighing. The bulk specific gravity can be used to calculate the unit weight of the mixture. Proper preparation and hand
