This lecture discusses the importance of calculating the specific surface area of aggregates, which varies significantly depending on the grain size distribution. The specific surface area is crucial for determining the amount of binder needed in asphalt mixtures. The lecture covers the calculation methods, the influence of different aggregate sizes on surface area, and the implications for asphalt mixture design and performance testing.
