Plot Curve and Obc

1. The document plots the curve of Marshall properties for different asphalt mixtures with varying bitumen content from 4.0% to 6.0%. 2. The optimum bitumen content is determined to be 4.73% based on the average stability, flow, and density values across the range of bitumen contents tested. 3. Key Marshall properties at the optimum bitumen content meet the specification requirements.

From the graph, OBC = (a + b + c + d)/4 = e

= (5.25 + 4.50 + 4.60 + 4.58) = 4.73%
