Summary table of the optimal oil-stone ratio for selected asphalt mixtures according to the GTM method.
| Gradation number | Selected oil-stone ratio (%) | Theoretical maximum relative density (g/cm3) | Measured density (g/cm3) | Porosity (%) | Mineral material clearance rate (%) | Saturation (%) | Shear safety factor GSF | Rotation stability factor GSI |
