Bitumen Content Testing

This document contains analysis of an asphalt mixture including calculations of various mix parameters like voids in mix, voids in mineral aggregate, effective bitumen content, voids filled with bitumen, stability, bulk specific gravity, and maximum specific gravity. It also includes results from tests to determine Marshall stability and flow values, sieve analysis, and bitumen content using the centrifuge method. Calculations and test results are shown in tables with parameters like stability, flow, percent passing sieves, and bitumen content.
