- Total Dry Weight (lbs): This is the total dry weight of aggregate (coarse + fine) in the mix design. It does not include the weight of the asphalt binder.
- Binder Proportion (%): This is the percentage of asphalt binder, by weight, in the total mix. For example, if the design calls for 6% binder.
- Coarse Aggregate Proportion (%): This is the percentage of coarse aggregate (larger stones), by weight, relative to the total aggregate (coarse + fine).
- Fine Aggregate Proportion (%): This is the percentage of fine aggregate (sand), by weight, relative to the total aggregate.
