Question 1.
What is aggregate-binder adhesion?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what keeps the pavement intact.
Question 2.
What problem occurs from poor aggregate-binder adhesion?
Show hintHide hint
What happens to pavement surfaces when water gets involved?
3Question 3.
What is the primary consequence of poor aggregate-binder adhesion?
- Stripping
- Ravelling
- Cracking
- All of the above
Show hintHide hint

4Question 4.
True or False: Polymer-modified bitumen can enhance aggregate-binder adhesion.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider how modifications change properties.
Question 5.
Given specific conditions in a high-traffic region, design a pavement using your knowledge of aggregate-binder adhesion. Include material types and construction techniques.
Show hintHide hint
Recall factors that affect adhesion and choose materials accordingly.
Question 6.
Critique a case study where pavement failure occurred due to inadequate adhesion. Discuss what measures could have been implemented to prevent this.
Show hintHide hint
Evaluate the link between material properties and performance.
