FDOT Asphalt Paving Level 2 Questions and
Answers
Question 1
What is an asphalt treated permeable base?
Correct Answer
Concrete placed over asphalt
Question 2
If there is a rolling straight edge deficiency found on the friction course layer the
contractor and the engineer can elect to take a no pay instead of remove and replace.
That formula is
Correct Answer
length of deficiency (+50 ft both sides) x width x depth of layer
Question 3
FC-5 low end ambient air temperature is what?
Correct Answer
65F unless the engineer approves use in 60F
Question 4
Asphalt cement does what while cold?
Correct Answer
It becomes a glue and holds the rocks together

,Question 5
Tapers are required on joints when the adjacent travel lanes has a difference in
elevation
Correct Answer
greater than 1 1/2
Question 6
What is the compaction temperature range?
Correct Answer
180 - 300F
Anything below is the stop point, can't achieve any more compaction
Question 7
Amplitude is what?
Correct Answer
How high the roller jumps
Question 8
What is the application rate for ARMI layers?
Correct Answer
0.6 - 0.8 gal/syd
Use the AC(ARB) temperature correction factor
Question 9
Step 4 for figuring the tack spread rate
Correct Answer
Find the correction factor on the temperature sheet corresponding to the correct
liquid to convert the gallons to 60F
EX: 160F correction factor = 0.9756
gallons used x correction factor = gallons at 60F

, Question 10
The formula for Pounds per linear inch is
Correct Answer
PLI = roller weight LB / sum of drum widths IN
Question 11
Density makes up how much of pay?
Correct Answer
35%
Question 12
Frequency is what?
Correct Answer
The frequency in the vibration cycles that rotate per minute
Question 13
Do not place friction course until
Correct Answer
the shoulder has been dressed and grassed
Question 14
CQC
Correct Answer
contractor quality control
