Jw fraction passing the 0.07Smm (No.200) sieve shall not be greater than 0.66 (two thirds of the fuvction passing the 0.425(No. 40 )sieve. Wi filler, in additi 1 to that naturally present, is necessary to meet the grading requirements or satisfactory bondit.s, it shall be uniformly blended with the base course material on the road or in a pug mill unless otherwise specified! or approved. Filler shall be taken from approved sources, shall tw free from hard lumps and shall not be contain more than 15 percent material retained on the 4 1Smm(N0.4) sieve. Limit: (AASHTO T89) ‘The fraction passing the 0.425mm (N2.40) sieve shal aliquid limit not greater than 25 Mustic limit: (AASHTO 790) The fraction passing the 0.42Smm (No.40) sieve shall have a plasticity index (PI) not greater than 6, ABRASION TEST SIGNIFICANCE: This test evaluates the structural sirength of coarse aggregate. It gives an indication of quality as determined by resistance to impact and wear. The results do not automatically permit valid ‘vomparisons to be made between sources distinctly different in origin, composition, or structure. WPARATUS: 1, Los Angeles Machine 2.
