General Characteristics : 3.1 Aggregates shall consist of natural sand or manufae- tured sand, used alone or in combination with coarse aggregate 1s described in this specification. Manufactured sand is the product obtained by crushing stone, gravel, or air-cooled iron blast-furnace slag. Coarse aggregate shall consist of crushed stone, gravel, or air-cooled iron blast-furnace slag processed t0 assure suitable gradation, [Nore Care should be taken ro ensute a suitable particle shape, since excessive quantities of fat and elongated particles have historically caused problems with workability 4. Grading 4.1 Grading shall conform to the requirements in Table | or shall comply with the requirements of 4.2.

Aggregates of gradations other than those covered by Table 1 are permitted if all of the requirements of 4.2.1, 4.2.2, and 4.2.3 are met. 4.2.1 One hundred percent of the fine aggregate shall pass the 9,5-mm(4-in.) sieve and no more than 5 % natural sand or 10 % for manufactured sand shall pass the 75~ mm (No. 200) sieve. 4.2.2. One hundred percent of the coarse aggregate shall pass the 12.5-mm (V4-in, sieve and no more than 5 % shall pass the 1600-1m (No. 30) sieve. 4.2.3 The compressive strength of grout shall be specified. ‘and meet the requirements of Specification C476, 5, Deleterious Substances 5.1 The amounts of deleterious substances in either fine or coarse aggregate shall not exceed the following: ‘ro © AST Lima 10 Ba Har Om, FO Bx 700, We arson, Pk 1K2E2089 Unie SansAi caoa- 11 TABLE 1 Grading Requirements “arurts Fer an Each Laboratory Save Daaignaon, wag sl oa Fre haeie a a ‘Sieve Designation = eT La Sie ot ce No 08 | Eze GERD 5 : 5 i 5 term pein) ‘eo 0 10 toro 00 Gomi pi) Sto s00 ‘oo iw ‘oa Soemmiies) 06 100 Be 109 8 100 Sisto ienmgot) Sowa fom 100 jo 10 oboe oomita) «S80 bore bor Sooimite's) Sioa, oie Sea {son no. 2) OO re obs ess 20) dies Cite ! greater than 10% when sodium sulfate used or 15 6 when | Pemasive ‘Magnesium sulfate i used this core ras Delon Susans mo 72 Aggregate filing to meet the requirements of 7.1 may . conc puna so be accepted, provided that grout of comparable properties spe Cortes oats toi ones ins made from similar aggregate from the same source has been avg pst ty 20 exposed to weathering, similar to that to be encountered, fora 1 period of move than S years without appreciable disintegration. | reg “headrest dove et pl bastarace sa opel |} 8.
