1 There are 8 classes of coarse grading that for class 1 & 2 PI value is acceptable up to 13% & 10% respectively. 2 For classes 1 and 2 grading, dust ratio should be less than ¾. 3 For classes 1 and 2 grading, this value can be less than ¾. 4 Lower plastic material (<6) shall be used if crushed gravel, stone, or slag is used.

6.2. Recycled concrete aggregate. To produce RCA, Portland cement concrete is broken up and crushed. The major intrinsic material properties that limit the use of RCA are specific gravity, absorption, soundness (resistance to environmental conditions such as chemical and physical weathering), gradation, and contaminant solubility and the potential for groundwater contamination.

Answer (1 of 4): Recycled glass is an acceptable alternative for rocks. It is typically used in embankment material. The Contractor can use crushed glass in the base material. They need to uniformly blend the crushed glass with the aggregate, and make sure the blend meets the aggregate gradation ...

SOIL COMPACTION HANDBOOK 5 Cohesive soils Cohesive soils have the smallest particles. Clay has a particle size range of .00004" to .002". Silt ranges from .0002" to .003".

The sub base materials are usually found from the bed of the rivers, old dry rivers, sandy hills or debris and the other mines. If these materials have particles bigger than requirements, they should be subjected to mechanical screens and provide suitable grading for use in the sub base layer. ** Crushed Sub Base Materials or crushed rubble.

TS 1010 – September 2017 Page 2 of 8 Amendment to OPSS.MUNI 1010 (Apr 2013) – Material Specification for Aggregates – Base, Subbase, Select Subgrade, and Backfill Material OPSS.MUNI 1010 is amended by the addition of the following subsection:

Base/subbase provides improved protection of the subgrade, a stronger support to the PCC • The the design thickness of the PCC is not significantly affected by the k-value as the PCC modulus (stiffness) has a high relative stiffness: • PCC ~ 5.000,000 psi • Base/subbase ~ 30,000 psi • …

A. When aggregate subbase or aggregate base are to be placed on the grading plane, the grading plane shall not vary more than 0.05' above or 0.1' below the grade established by the Design Engineer. B. When asphalt concrete base is to be placed on the grading plane, the grading plane shall not vary more than 0.05' above or below the grade

1. Scope . 1.1 This specification covers the quality and grading of the following materials for use in the construction of subbase, base, and surface courses: sand-clay mixtures; gravel; stone or slag screenings; sand; crusher-run coarse aggregate consisting of gravel, crushed stone, or slag combined with soil mortar; or any combination of these materials.

Figure 400.1 – Pavement design standards for new/reconstructed HMA pavement for projects that involve working the existing soil. NOTE 1 . For non-granular soils, the minimum pavement structure (i.e. pavement, aggregate base, and subbase) thickness required is: • 30.0 inches for 20-year BESALs ≤ 7million

The second approach is limiting. the grading envelope of the fines to an absolute value of ± 2% or ± 1% which is suitable. for coarse materials where the fine fraction is less than 5% to nil ...

Sample the aggregate subbase at the time it is deposited on the roadbed. Observe delivered aggregate subbase to ensure that it is clean of debris and other harmful materials. For requirements related to material quality, perform the tests at the frequencies shown in Section 6-1, "Sample Types and Frequencies," of this manual.

B. The sub grade or sub base to receive aggregate base course, immediately prior to spreading, shall conform to the compaction and elevation tolerances indicated for the material involved and shall be free of standing water and loose or extraneous material. 3.02 INSTALLATION STANDARDS A.

RE: compaction for aggregate basecourse/sub-base? Drumchaser (Civil/Environmental) 18 May 11 19:27 Have seen required for aggregate basecourses, and due to frequency of testing and overall quality control of material it is not difficult to acheive with the regional quarries we have in this area.

The grading and grading limits are usually expressed as the percentage of material passing each sieve. Fig. 5-6 shows these limits for fine aggregate and for one size of coarse aggregate. There are several reasons for specifying grading limits and nominal maximum aggregate size; they affect relative. 82. Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures ...
