ASPHALT PAVING LEVEL 1 EXAM WITH
CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST ALREADY GRADED A+ 2025 – 2026
What are the units used in determining the asphalt mix
spread rate? - ANSWERS-Lbs/yd^2
Using the random number sheet, what is required to
calculate the core location on the roadway?
A mix spread rate, thickness, width
Mix temperature, tons, thickness, width
Random tons, mix spread rate, width, starting station -
ANSWERS-Random tons, mix spread rate, width, starting
station
If the calculated core location is a distance of 544 feet from
the starting station of 123+98, what is the station number of
the core? - ANSWERS-129+42
To convert from tons to pounds
, Multiply by 9
Divide by 9
Multiply by 2000
Divide by 2000 - ANSWERS-Multiply by 2000
Density cores for acceptance testing are not required for:
Mix less than 1 inch thick
Shoulders less than 5 feet wide
Acceleration and deceleration lanes less than 1000 feet in
length
Ramos less than 1000 feet - ANSWERS-All of the above
If a core sample is needed just after paving then
Coring can be done immediately
Let the pavement be cool to the touch before coring
Run extra water from the core rig while coring
Wait until the pavement surface temperature has cooled
below 160 degrees before coring - ANSWERS-Wait until the
pavement surface temp has cooled below 160 degrees
before coring
