Minimum Test Requirements for Aggregates<br />

Crushing Value<br />

- Max. Aggregate Crushing Value<br />

(Individual stockpile) - 23% (BS 812)<br />

Flakiness Index of Aggregate - 30 %Max. (BS 812) Basecourse<br />

(Individual Stockpile)<br />

- 25% Max.(BS 812) Roadbase<br />

Wearing Course<br />

course<br />

30% Max.<br />

Basecourse & Roadbase.<br />

Sand Equivalent<br />

- 45% Min. (AASHTO T-176)<br />

Unit Weight - Min. 1120 Kg/m3 (AASHT0 T19)<br />

Water Absorption - 2 Percent Max. (BS 812)<br />

Each source of aggregate or constituent of the proposed mix shall be tested and<br />

reported separately. Test shall be applied to samples or fraction of samples as<br />

recommended or detailed in the relevant British Standard (BS 812) or AASHTO.<br />

18.6.4 Aggregate Combination<br />

Aggregates shall be combined to give a smooth grading conforming to Table for<br />

DBM roadbase/basecourse and Table for wearing course.<br />

The grading of the aggregate combination shall be uniform within the limits<br />

shown. Any rejection or addition of any size or sizes of particles to obtain a<br />

satisfactory uniformity shall be the full and complete responsibility of the<br />

Contractor. Fines or filler will only be added where the natural crushed material<br />

is short of such sizes and the addition is required to bring the combined aggregate<br />

within the specified limits.<br />
