Q3. Excessive high pressure applied on the long residue can lead to
a. Thermal degradation b. Higher bitumen yield
c. Improved bitumen properties d. Reduction in viscosity of bitumen
Q4. For a given bitumen, which of the following solvent will give higher yield of
asphaltenes
a. n-heptane b. n-pentane
c. toluene d. tri-chloro-ethylene
Q8. Binders A and B are provided to you. Both the binders have a viscosity of
3000-3400 Poises at 60 °C. The penetration index of A is -0.7 and for B the value
is 0.5. Which binder should you choose, considering that there is no difference in
their cost.
a. A b. B
c. Any of the two can be chosen d. The values of viscosity are too high.
There is a need to look for alternate
binders.
