Determine the maximum theoretical specific gravity of a paving mixture having a weight of 1210gm in air and 635gm in water. Knowing that the voids in mineral aggregate is 14 %, the asphalt content used in this mixture is 5.5 % with a specific gravity of asphalt equals to 1.02 and the amount of asphalt absorbed by aggregates is 1.3%.
