Standard Specification for Fine Aggregate for Asphalt Paving Mixtures
Also Known As:
The ASTM D1073-16 standard provides guidelines for the use of fine aggregate in bituminous paving mixtures. The standard specifies that the aggregate must be sampled and tested to meet the requirements outlined in the specification.
The standard emphasizes the importance of grading, fineness modulus, and plasticity index testing to ensure that the fine aggregate meets the necessary criteria. These tests are essential for determining the suitability of the aggregate for use in asphalt paving mixtures.
The specification also addresses the blending of materials from multiple sources to achieve the desired grading. In such cases, the grading requirements provided in Table 1 of the specification may not be applicable. Instead, it is recommended that the ordering agency or specifier specify alternative gradings and blend ratios to be supplied by the sources.
It should be noted that the standard includes references to notes and footnotes, which provide additional clarification and explanatory information. However, these notes and footnotes, excluding those in tables and figures, are not considered as requirements of the standard.
