1 Asphaltic Concrete Mix Design Marshall Method Date: January 18, 2013 Project No: VB Mix Type/Specification: APWA Type 4-01 For: Mr. Leland Smith Vance Brothers, Inc Brighton Ave. Kansas City, MO 64130

2 Asphaltic Concrete Mix Design APWA Type 4-01 Objective Perform a Marshall Mix Design per the Asphalt Institute MS-2 Manual and AASHTO test methods conforming to the Kansas City Metropolitan Chapter of the American Public Works Association, 2001 Edition, APWA Type 4-01 specification (50 compaction blows per face). Materials Material Source Date Received 3/8 Crushed Limestone Quality Quarry, KCMO January 7, 2013 Limestone Screenings Quality Quarry, KCMO January 7, 2013 River Sand Mid America Sand Co., KCMO January 7, 2013 PG Asphalt Conoco Phillips, Wood River, IL December 6, 2012 Discussion: Mix Design Project VB The mix design was optimized using four asphalt contents (4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 AC). The table below lists the mix properties at the optimum asphalt content chosen (5.1% AC). The mixing temperature range is 305 to 315 F and the compaction temperature range is 285 to 295 F. As with any mix, compaction and compaction temperatures should be determined by roller test patterns and density measurements. These test results apply only to the laboratory samples as received. Adjustments may be necessary in the plant/field due to raw material variation, conditions in the plant/field, etc. Mix design tables and graphs are on pages 2 5.
