A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specifi

3、cation covers quality-controlled graded ag-gregates that, when hauled to and properly spread and com-pacted on a prepared grade to appropriate density standards,may be expected to provide adequate stability and load supportfor use as highway or airport bases or subbases.NOTE 1The engineer is caution

Themethod suggested is to require compaction on a firm foundation of a shortcontrol strip of the material at a suita

General Requirements3.1 Coarse aggregate retained on the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieveshall consist of durable particles of crushed stone, gravel, orslag capable of withstanding the effects of handling, spreading,and compacting without degradation productive of deleteriousfines. Of the particles which a

12、re retained on a 9.5-mm 38-in.sieve, at least 75% shall have two or more fractured faces.NOTE 2No standard ASTM method is recognized to be capable ofmeasuring the quality, or tendency of coarse aggregate to degrade to theextent that deleterious fines may be produced. Some local jurisdictionshave dev

13、eloped tests believed to be of value in this respect. The purchaserof material under this specification is advised to investigate the availabilityand reliability of such tests in order to specify quality requirementsappropriate to the local area.3.1.1 The fractured particle requirement of 3.1 is mod
