1.0 INTRODUCTION Before any asphalt mixes can be placed and laid on the road, the aggregate and the binder types are generally screened for quality and requirement. Approximately 15 samples are required Optimum Asphalt Content (OAC). The prepared samples are to be analyzed for bulk density, air void and stability. By using the Asphalt Institute Method, the Optimum Asphalt Content are determined from the individual plots of bulk density, voids in total mix and stability versus percent asphalt content. The average of the 3 OAC values is taken for further sample preparation and analysis. 2.0 OBJECTIVES At the end of the experiment, student should be:

4.0 PROCEDURE
1. The aggregate (about 1200g), graded according to the ASTM standard are
over dried at 170 - 180 0C (not more than 2800C ).
6. The mould is placed on the Marshall Compactor (Figure 1) and given 50 blows.
7. The specimen is then carefully removed from the mould and then marked (Figure 2).

b) BULK SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF THE MIX 1. Weight the specimen before test (A).(Figure 3) 2. The specimen is immersed in a 251 C water bath and saturated at 41 minutes (Figure 4). 3. The specimen is then, placed in a basket and its mass is determined to nearest 0.1 g while immersed in water at 25 1 C (C).
4. The immersed saturated specimen is removed from the water bath and damp
dried with a damp absorbent cloth as quickly as possible. The specimen is then weighted, (B). Any water that seeps from the specimen during the weighing operation is considered as part of saturated specimens.

2. The testing heads and guide rods are thoroughly cleaned, guide rods
lubricated and head maintained at a temperature between 21.1 and 37.8 0C. 3. A specimen is removed from the water bath or oven, placed in the lower jaw and the upper jaw placed in position. The complete assembly is then placed in the Marshall Stability and flow machine (Figure 5) and the flow meter adjusted to zero. 4. The load is applied to the specimen at a constant strain rate of 50.8 mm/min until the maximum load is reached. The maximum force and flow at that force are read and recorded. The maximum time thats allowed between removal of
the specimens from the water bath and maximum load is 30 second.
