How do you mix 1 cubic meter of asphalt concrete?

To mix 1 cubic meter of asphalt concrete, start by combining aggregate (such as crushed stone or gravel), asphalt binder, and any necessary additives in a hot mix plant. The aggregates should be heated to around 150-180°C (300-350°F) to ensure proper adhesion with the binder. Once the aggregates are heated, add the asphalt binder at the appropriate temperature and mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved. Finally, the asphalt concrete can be transported to the paving site for application.


What happens when hot water meet cold water?

It depends on the situation. If cold and hot water were mixed roughly together, they will simply mix with each other. However, when hot water is poured over cold water gradually, they will not mix and the hot water will remain on top of the cold water. This always happens when using a large container. In a small container, they will also mix immediately.
