Gradation Effects Influencing Mechanical Properties of …

This paper presents an aggregate gradation mechanism based on the proportionality between gravel and sand size particles (as per ASTM D2487-11) to demonstrate how mechanical behavior—that is, Aggregate gradation effects on strength and modulus characteristics of aggregate base–granular subbase materials used in Minnesota are described.

Gradation and Size

Maximum aggregate size can affect HMA, PCC and base/subbase courses in several ways. In HMA, ... Therefore, for base and subbase aggregates where permeability is important for drainage and frost resistance, many agencies will specify a maximum percent-by-weight passing for this sieve. Figure 3. Typical Aggregate Gradations and Permeabilities ...

This paper describes an investigation into the influence of fines content and type on the strength and permeability of aggregate base Class-A. Fines content investigated were 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16%; the fines had PI values of 0%, 9.47% and 24.09%. Results result indicates that PI is the most effective parameter for controlling the strength of the ...

Correcting permeability in dense-graded HMA mixes

Permeability is usually caused by one of the following: Poor roadway compaction (low density), which most commonly occurs at the longitudinal joint, or; An aggregate structure in the mix that is inherently permeable. Most roadway permeability issues are a result of poor compaction at the longitudinal joint.

Permeability of Base Aggregate and Sand

Lack of proper pore water drainage is one of the main causes of the failure of geosystems. Many geosystems such as roadway base course and retaining wall backfills are designed to quickly drain pore water to minimize elevated pore pressure, minimize freeze-thaw damage, and prevent failure … See more

Tech Brief for RCA in Dense Graded Aggregate

• Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) has been used for Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA) Base Course since the mid 80's. • However, recent research conducted by the NJDOT has indicated that although RCA exhibits superior structural properties, the permeability is very low when compared to typical base course aggregates used in New Jersey.
