Section 4127.� Aggregate for Hot Mix Asphalt

�����������������������������������

4127.01���� DESCRIPTION.

 

A.��� Crushed stone, gravel, slag, sand, and filler from an approved source. Crushed gravel may be used to satisfy crushed particle and friction requirements for HMA mixtures. Produce crushed gravel as a separate operation by crushing the portion of a gravel aggregate retained on a screen at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) larger than the sieve size that 100% of the gravel will pass after crushing.

 

B.��� If a gravel aggregate has less than 5% retained on the No. 4 sieve (6 mm), the Engineer may replace the requirements of Table 4127.02-1 with the requirements of Article 4127.03.

 

4127.02���� COARSE AGGREGATE.

Meet the requirements of Table 4127.02-1:

4127.03���� FINE AGGREGATE.

 

A.��� Natural sand containing no more than 0.01% organic matter when tested using Iowa Test Method 215. A gradation for wearing course mixture of no more than 50% retained between two consecutive standard sieves below the No. 4 (4.75 mm).

 

B.��� Crushed gravel or stone processed from coarse aggregate meeting the requirements of Article 4127.02.

4127.04���� COMBINED AGGREGATES.

 

A.��� Use aggregate, which does not contain adherent films of clay or other matter that will prevent coating of particles with asphalt binder. Meet gradations of Materials I.M. 510.

 

B.��� Maximum shale allowed in the fine portion of the combined materials:
