True False - ✔✔False Too many roller passes will increase the density of the pavement.True False - ✔✔False Asphalt cement is pure asphalt and asphalt binder includes both neat asphalt cement and modified asphalt cement made by adding polymers for improving properties of asphalt. True False - ✔✔True Asphalt mix is considerably different than other materials such as cement concrete as its properties are very sensitive to temperature, rate of loading and aging. True False - ✔✔True A tack coat is a thin layer of emulsion or cutback asphalt applied between pavement layers which act as a glue (or promote bonding) between layers.
