Show hintHide hint
Think about materials that bounce back.
Question 2.
What happens to bituminous mixes at high temperatures?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how a thick syrup behaves when heated.
3Question 3.
What is elastic behavior in bituminous mixes?
- Deformation is permanent
- Deformation is recoverable

Show hintHide hint
Think about how heat affects liquids.
Question 5.
Illustrate how temperature fluctuations throughout the day could affect the performance of a pavement made from bituminous mixes. Consider both daytime and nighttime conditions.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how morning and afternoon temperatures change and the effects on materials.
Question 6.
