FDOT ASPHALT PAVING LEVEL 2 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS 2025
ANSWER Downstation, S to N
ANSWER Downstation, W to E
ANSWER Stationing begins at 0+00.
Measurement of Stationing: ANSWER 1+00 equals 100 feet
A 15-foot, 4.573-meter rolling straightedge is used to measure the smoothness
of pavement.
The purpose of Straight Edge is to ANSWER detect issues.
ANSWER: Random sampling are typically created at random by a VT in order
to harvest cores from the road.
How frequently should a straight edge be calibrated? ANSWER At the
beginning of every working period, calibrate
You determine the ideal location for the rolling straightedge by using the
manual straight edge. ANSWER The gauge should display 0 once you find a
level spot with the manual straightedge and position the rolling straightedge
next to it.
Which wheels do the 3/16 and 3/8 shims go under during calibration?
ANSWER The centre wheel is used to measure high, and the outside wheels
are used to measure low. For the 3/16 shim, the gauge should read 3/16, and for
the 3/8 shims, the opposite should be true. Verify that the centre wheel may
freely move up and down.
ANSWER Rolling Straightedge Manual Straightedge Manual Measurement
(ruler) Straightedge calibration materials
, 3/16 x4 shims 10 mm thick x 4 3/8 shims that are 5 mm thick
When should the final straightedge be performed? ANSWER Following the
paving of a whole lane
The pavement should be at room temperature when the final straightedge is
performed.
The straightedge must be correctly ANSWER calibrated before you can use it.
ANSWER When executing the straightedge procedure Continue to practise
safe and effective traffic management.
There are two ways to do cross slopes: ANSWER Manually or with a smart
level
ANSWER: When utilising a manual cross slope, you first Put a basic level on
the sidewalk.
Following the installation of the basic level on the pavement, you - ANSWER
Lift the level's lower end until the bubble centre is level.
Once the basic level has been raised to a level position, you measure what
ANSWER The basic level's length and the elevation difference between the
level's (previously down) end and the pavement
The manual cross slope calculation formula: ANSWER Use the formula to
determine the slope.
(h / l) x 100 equals slope percentage
The rolling straightedge's requirements: ANSWER A readout gauge with low
and high readings and markings to the closest 1/16 (1mm) must be present and
kept clean and functional.
Pulling a rolling straightedge at - ANSWER 3 to 5 mph or slower
