5. Fine aggregate Gsb4 Gse4 P4

6. Total aggregate PS PS

7. Asphalt (60/70 Grade) Gb Pb

8. Bulk specific gravity of total aggregate
(Gsb) = Gsb
100/((P1/Gsb1)+(P2/Gsb2)+(P3/Gsb3)+(P4/Gsb4))
9. Effective specific gravity of total aggregate
Gse
(Gse) =100/((P1/Gse1)+(P2/Gse2)+(P3/Gse3)+(P4/Gse4)+(P5/Gse5))
10. Maximum specific gravity of paving mix
Gmm
(Gmm) = 100/(Ps/Gse)+(Pb/Gb)

11. Bulk specific gravity of compacted mix Gmb

12. Absorbed asphalt ( Pba), % by weigh of total aggregate Pba

13. Effective Asphalt Content ( Pbe) = Pb-((Pba/100 )*Ps)
Pbe

14. Air voids ( Va) =((Gmm-Gmb)/Gmm)*100 Va

15. Voids in mineral aggregate(VMA) =100-((Gmb*Ps)/Gsb)) VMA

16. Voids filled with bitumen(VFB) =(VMA-Va)/VMA*100 VFB
