In the penetration macadam construction, the bitumen is A. Sprayed after the aggregates are spread and compacted B. Premixed with aggregates and then spread C. Sprayed before the aggregates are spread and compacted D. None of the above

Sprayed after the aggregates are spread and compacted
Premixed with aggregates and then spread
Sprayed before the aggregates are spread and compacted
None of the above

The correct answer is: A. Sprayed after the aggregates are spread and compacted.

Penetration macadam is a type of road construction that uses a bitumen binder to coat aggregates. The bitumen is sprayed onto the aggregates after they have been spread and compacted. This helps to bind the aggregates together and create a strong, durable surface.

Option B is incorrect because the bitumen is not premixed with the aggregates. This would result in a weak and unstable surface.

Option C is incorrect because the bitumen is sprayed before the aggregates are spread and compacted. This would result in a surface that is not evenly coated with bitumen and would be more likely to crack and fail.

Option D is incorrect because it is not one of the possible answers.
