,FDOT Asphalt Paving Practice Exam (Level 1 & 2)
Question 1: What is the maximum ambient temperature for placing a "wearing
course" (surface layer) according to FDOT standards?
A) 60°F
B) 50°F
C) 40°F
D) 100°F
, Answer: B) 50°F
Rationale: FDOT specifications generally prohibit placing wearing course mixes
when the ambient temperature is below 50°F . Base course may be placed at
slightly lower temperatures (40°F) .
Question 2: Which of the following is NOT a typical Performance Graded (PG)
binder used in FDOT asphalt mix designs?
A) PG 52-28
B) PG 58-22
C) PG 62-22
D) PG 76-22 (PMA)
Answer: C) PG 62-22
Rationale: Common FDOT binders include PG 52-28, PG 58-22, PG 64-22, PG 67-
22, and PG 76-22. PG 62-22 is not a standard specification binder . The numbers
refer to high and low-temperature performance grades (e.g., -22°C low temp) .
Question 3: When calibrating a rolling straightedge to check for the "low side,"
where do you place the 3/16 inch shims?
A) Under the center wheel only
B) Under the outside wheels
C) At the front of the straightedge
D) On top of the gauge
Answer: B) Under the outside wheels
Rationale: To calibrate for a low spot, place 3/16" shims under both outside
wheels. The center wheel drops into the void, and the gauge should read 3/16" .
For a "high side" (bump) calibration, you place the shim under the center wheel .
Question 4: A "full lot" of Superpave asphalt for testing purposes is defined as:
A) 500 tons
