Table 16-2.-Weight and Volume Relations for Various Types of Compacted Asphalt PavementWhereL =W =110 =9 =2,000 =WF =Length of project in feet.Width of project in feet.Pounds per square yard of asphalt per1-inch depth. (Example: A 2-inch matwill equal 220 pounds per square yard.)To obtain square yards from square feet,divide by 9.2,000 pounds equal one ton; therefore, youmust divide the total weight of material by2,000, giving tons required.Waste factor equals 5% or .05, or 10% or.10, depending on the experience of thescreed operators and handwork required onthe project.Example: The specifications for a parking lotpaving project are as follows:L = 90 feetW = 30 feetD = 2 inchesWF = .10Find the amount of asphalt required for this project.Placing Plant-Mix MaterialsThe material that arrives at the construction sitefrom the plant must be spread.
