    Sample Viva questions for Highway & Transportation

    Engineering Lab, CE691


    Set-1
    1. How is aggregate Impact expressed?
    2. What do you understand by dry and wet Impact value?
    3. Aggregate Impact value of material A is 15 and that of B is 35. Which one is better for surface course?
    4. The abrasion value found from Los Angeles test for two aggregates A and B are 50% and 38% respectively. Which
    aggregate is harder? Why? For what types of constructions are these suitable?
    5. Why Los Angeles abrasion test is considered superior to the other form of tests which are used to determine the
    hardness of aggregates?
    6. Two materials have abrasion values 3 and 10 respectively. Which one is harder and why?
    7. Define flash and fire points.
    8. What is the significance of flash and fire point test?
    9. What are the parameter that affects the result of flash and fire point tests?
    10. Define specific gravity.
    11. What is the use of finding specific gravity?
    12. What are the factors affecting specific gravity test?
    13. What are the applications of penetration test?
    14. What do you understand by the term 30/40 bitumen?
    15. What are the precautions to be taken while conducting a penetration test?
    16. What are the factors which affect the ring and ball test results?
    17. What is softening point? If material A has softening point of 56 and B has 42 which binder is good and why?
    18. What do you understand by the term repeatability and reproducibility?
    Repeatabilityis the variability of the measurements obtained by one person while measuring the same item
    repeatedly.
    Reproducibilityis the variability of the measurement system caused by differences in operator behavior.
    Mathematically, it is the variability of the average values obtained by several operators while measuring the
    same item.

    19. Explain the term viscosity.


    20. What is the significance of flow value in Marshall Test?
    21. What are the different types of pavements
    22. What are the different layers in pavement. Explain significance of each layer
    23. What are the different types of cutbacks and emulsions
    24. How are bitumen and tar manufactured
    25. What is difference between asphalt and bitumen
