Field Density Determination of Asphalt

SD 315
Field Density Determination of Asphalt Concrete

By the Coring Method
1.
Scope:
This procedure is for determining the density of in place asphalt concrete
pavement.
2.
3.
Apparatus:
2.1
Scale or Balance having the capacity to weigh any sample which may be
tested utilizing this procedure and readable to the nearest 0.1 Gram. The
scale or balance shall be equipped with a suitable suspension apparatus
and holder to permit weighing the sample while suspended from the center
of the scale pan of the weighing device.
2.2
Coring device capable of getting a minimum 4 (100 mm) diameter core from
the pavement.
2.3
Diamond tipped blade cut off saw capable of sawing the 4" (100 mm) or
larger core on the correct lift line without distortion and damage to the core.
2.4
The water bath for immersing the sample shall be equipped with an overflow
outlet for maintaining a constant water level. An aquarium heater will suffice
to control the temperature of the water bath at 77 2 F (25 1 C). The
water bath must be large enough to allow the suspension apparatus holder
to be covered with water at all times. The sample and suspension apparatus
must be completely covered with water during weighing.
The wire
suspending the suspension apparatus shall be the smallest practical size to
minimize any possible effects of a variable immersed length.
Procedure:
3.1
Randomly select 2 core sites per 1000 ton sublot and mark for the
Contractor to core. Adjust the random core locations falling within one foot
(0.3 m) of the pavement edge to one foot (0.3 m) from the pavement edge.
Exercise care when removing the core from the pavement to prevent
distortion or cracking. Label the core sample.
3.2
After removing the core, fill the hole in the pavement before the end of the
next working day with mix and tamp to a density, which will be close to that
of the surrounding pavement.

3.3
Transport the cores to the field laboratory site. Measure the core lift or lifts to
the nearest .05 inch or 1/16" (1 mm) and record the measurements on a core
dry back worksheet (DOT-8). Remove the pavement lift of interest from the
core by using a cut off or masonry saw with a diamond tipped blade. Inspect
the core for damage. Record the sawed core thickness on line (A) of the
core dry back worksheet (DOT-8).
3.4
Weigh the core and record the apparent dry weight to the nearest 0.1 gram
on line (B).
NOTE: Cores and pucks shall be weighed individually.
3.5
Immerse each core in water at 77 2 F (25 1 C) for 3 to 3.5 minutes and

record the submersed weight to the nearest 0.1 gram on line (C). Maintain a
constant level of water in the water bath at the overflow outlet through the
entire test procedure.
3.6
Remove each core from the water and surface dry by blotting with a damp
terry cloth towel and record the surface-dry mass to the nearest 0.1 gram on
line (D).
3.7
Calculate the volume of the core (D-C). Record on line (E).

NOTE: Cores have taken on water from the coring and sawing process.
The following procedure must be used to get the water out of
the cores. Dry each core to a constant weight by drying in an
oven to determine the actual core dry weight. Constant weight
is defined as when drying at 230 9 F (110 5 C) does not
alter the apparent dry weight by more than 0.1 percent when
weighed at the initial 2 hour interval and then at 1 hour intervals
thereafter.
3.8
Record the pan number on line (F).
3.9
Record the weight of the pan to the nearest 0.1 gram on line (G).
3.10
Place the core in the pan and place in an oven at 230 9 F for 2 hours.
3.11
After the 2 hour period, record the weight of the core and the pan to the
nearest 0.1 gram on the first time space on line (J).
3.12
Place the core and pan back in the oven and weigh at 1 hour intervals until
the core has reached a constant weight. Constant weight is attained when
the weight loss is within 0.1 percent of the apparent dry weight. Calculate
the amount of allowable loss (B * .001) to the nearest 0.1 gram. Record on
line (M).
mso.mat 9-10
SD 315
Page 3
3.13
After a constant weight has been attained, cool the pan and core to room
temperature. Record the weight to the nearest 0.1 gram on line (N).
3.14
Determine the actual dry weight of the core (N-G). Record on line (H).
3.15
Determine the core bulk specific gravity (H/E) to the nearest 0.001. Record
on line (I).
3.16
Determine the moisture in the core (D-H). Record on line (K).
3.17
Calculate the percent water absorbed by volume (K/E * 100) to the nearest
0.1 percent. Record on line (L).
Example for determining coring locations using QC/QA stratified random sampling
procedure.
Each 1000 ton sublot is divided into two 500 ton sections of pavement (one core per 500
ton). Using a random number table generate two random numbers to determine the
location for each core. The first random number determines the tonnage into the sublot
where the core will be taken. The second random number determines the offset distance
from the centerline for the core. The station of the random tonnage can be taken from the
asphalt checkers weigh tickets. Round the longitudinal distances to the nearest foot (0.3
m) and the offset distances to the nearest 0.5 foot (0.1 m).
The table shows a method using random numbers to determine the core stationing and
offset distance from the beginning tonnage of the lot. The tonnage corresponds to the
station, which is on the asphalt checkers weigh ticket. Note that the whole lot does not
need to be completed prior to determining the coring locations for each individual core.

The cores are taken by the contractor with the Quality Assurance technician witnessing
the coring operation and transporting the cores back to the lab for testing. The cores
shall be measured and then separated on the lift line by means of sawing with a diamond
blade cut off or masonry saw being careful not to damage the core. The density of each
core is determined

Field Density Determination of Asphalt Concrete

Immerse each core in water at 77 2 F (25 1 C) for 3 to 3.5 minutes and

Calculate the volume of the core (D-C). Record on line (E).

Record the pan number on line (F).

Determine the moisture in the core (D-H). Record on line (K).
