To: Harold Michael, Director 8 January 1991
Joint Highway Research Project Project No.: C-36-6KK
From: Douglas Winslow File No.: 2-5-37
Attached is the final report on an INDOT Study entitled "Application of a Rapid
Asphalt Content Test to Slag Mixes". The research was funded by the Toll Road
Division of INDOT. This report includes results from both laboratory and field
experiments into the possible use of a rapid test for asphalt content of mixes containing
slag aggregate. The report is forwarded for acceptance by INDOT.

16. Abstroct
The "nuclear" asphalt content gage was used with bituminous mixes containing slag
aggregates to assess its applicability as a rapid analysis tool for these types of
mixes. It was found to work as well, or better, than the standard extraction
technique. It was also found to have additional advantages over the extraction
technique since it is about an order to magnitude faster, requires no solvent
and involves no decisions on the part of the user.
