This document provides the step-by-step work to solve several calculations related to asphalt mix design. It finds: (1) the aggregate gradation properties including effective specific gravity and bulk specific gravity, (2) asphalt content and binder properties, and (3) volumetric properties including air voids, voids in the mineral aggregate, and voids filled with asphalt. The calculations are shown for two different mix designs, labeled part a) and part c).
