Calculating HMA placement yield for what reasons - ANSWER Structural design thickness Adjusting cross-slope and grade Calculate periodically and at the end of the day 2. HMA placement yield formula - ANSWER Amount used (lbs) / area covered syds = yield 3. Do ARMI layers get tacked? - ANSWER Doesn't require tack 4. Tack must be spread - ANSWER Uniformly Breaking of emulsion is the water evaporating from the asphalt cement 5. Traffic and Tack - ANSWER Keep traffic off tack, before it breaks and they go over it the tack is gone and no longer uniform 6. Give the paver how far when checking the thickness a second time - ANSWER Give paver a minimum of 32 feet before a second check to adjust 7. Thickness Probe should be set higher for what and by how much - ANSWER set higher for roll down of 20-25% Target 1 inch probe set at 1 1/4 inches Target 2 inches probe 2 1/2 inches 8. Yield VS Thickness - ANSWER Better to check yield constantly rather than thickness 9. After you have finished coring the road you should do what to the sample core - ANSWER Remove sample immediately to create minimal disturbance 10. Damaged cores - ANSWER effect results 11. If the fresh asphalt is still to hot to core you should - ANSWER Cool to be sampled with bags of ice 12. Application rate for open graded mixed - ANSWER OGFC(open graded friction course FC-5): 0.045 gal/yd^2 13. Spread rate of tack formula - ANSWER Spread rate = gallons used at 60°F / syds covered 14. The breaking of emulsion is - ANSWER The water evaporating from the asphalt cement 15. Binders - ANSWER Not PG 62-22 16. Cross slope frequency - ANSWER Every 100 feet if in range then every 200 feet 17. Degree of accuracy for levels - ANSWER 0.1 degrees 18. Tack used at night - ANSWER PG 52-28 which is multiplied the specification rate by 0.6 to get your new target application rate. Heated between 250 and 300°F 19. Tack allowed tolerance - ANSWER +-0.01 gal/syd 20. Base, Structural, or dense graded friction - ANSWER 0.03 minimum gal/syd on new constructed 0.06 gal/Syd milled surface 0.08 gal/Syd concrete 21. Open Graded Friction Course - ANSWER 0.05 gal/Syd newly constructed 0.07 gal/Syd milled 22. Perform the straight edge where in the road - ANSWER In the outside wheel path 23. Straightedge and joints - ANSWER Use the manual and place 1 inch over the joint and measure Allow 3/8 deficiency 24. Core placement horizontally - ANSWER Labeled as offset Based on width of road Feet away from edge of pavement 25. Can't core a road with a thickness of - ANSWER less than 1 inch 26. Can't core areas less than how many feet not on the mainland - ANSWER 1000ft 27. Nuclear Gauges and PQIs are for - ANSWER Process control not a valid test for densities for the DOT 28. S to N - ANSWER Downstation 29. W to E - ANSWER Downstation 30. Stationing - ANSWER Starts at 0+00 31. Stationing Measurement - ANSWER 1+00 is 100 feet 32. Straight Edge is the - ANSWER Measurement of Pavement smoothness with a 15 foot 4.573 m rolling straightedge 33. Straight Edge is used to - ANSWER identify problems 34. Random sampling - ANSWER Are random numbers generated usually by a VT for cores to be extracted from the roadway 35. How often should you calibrate a Straight edge - ANSWER Calibrate at the start of each working period
