 Introduction
Standard Terminology Relating to Materials for Roads and
Pavements (ASTM D 8 – 02)

Aggregate - a granular material of mineral composition such as sand,

gravel, shell, slag, or crushed stone, used with a cementing medium
to form mortars or concrete, or alone as in base courses, railroad
ballasts, etc.

Coarse Aggregate - aggregate predominantly retained on the 4.75-

mm (No. 4) sieve: or (2) that portion of an aggregate retained on the
4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve.

Fine Aggregate - aggregate passing the 3⁄8-in. (9.5-mm) sieve and

almost entirely passing the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve and predominantly
retained on the 75-μm (No. 200) sieve: or (2) that portion of an
aggregate passing the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve and retained on the 75-
μm (No. 200) sieve.

D 75 – 03 : Standard Practice for Sampling Aggregates
Scope
This practice covers sampling of coarse and fine aggregates for the following
purposes:
• Preliminary investigation of the potential source of supply,
• Control of the product at the source of supply,
• Control of the operations at the site of use, and
• Acceptance or rejection of the materials.

Significance and Use

• Sampling is equally as important as the testing, and the sampler shall use every
precaution to obtain samples that will show the nature and condition of the
materials which they represent.
• Samples for preliminary investigation tests are obtained by the party responsible
for development of the potential source (Note 2). Samples of materials for control
of the production at the source or control of the work at the site of use are obtained
by the manufacturer, contractor, or other parties responsible for accomplishing the
work. Samples for tests to be used in acceptance or rejection decisions by the
purchaser are obtained by the purchaser or his authorized representative.

D 448 – 03a : Standard Classification for

Sizes of Aggregate for Road and Bridge Construction

Scope
• This classification defines aggregate size designations and ranges in
mechanical analyses for standard sizes of coarse aggregate and screenings
for use in the construction and maintenance of various types of highways and
bridges.
• With regard to sieve sizes and the size of aggregate as determined by the
use of testing sieves, the values in inch pound units are shown for the
convenience of the user; however, the standard sieve designation shown in
parentheses is the standard value as stated in Specification E 11.

Significance and Use

Some contract documents specify certain aggregate sizes for specific uses or may
suggest one or more of these sizes as appropriate for the preparation of various end-
product mixtures. In some cases, closer limits on variability of the aggregate grading
are required.

D 3398 – 00 : Standard Test Method for

Index of Aggregate Particle Shape and Texture

Scope
• This test method covers the determination of the particle index of aggregate
as an overall measure of particle shape and texture characteristics.
• The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The
SI units given in parentheses may be approximate, except with regard to
sieve size and size of aggregate, the standard SI designations shown in
parentheses are the standard as stated in Specification E 11.

Significance and Use

This test method provides an index value to the relative particle shape and texture
characteristics of aggregates. This value is a quantitative measure of the aggregate
shape and texture characteristics that may affect the performance of road and paving
mixtures. This test method has been successfully used to indicate the effects of these
characteristics on the compaction and strength characteristics of soil-aggregate and
asphalt concrete mixtures

D 3744 – 03 : Standard Test Method for Aggregate

Durability Index

Scope
• This test method covers the determination of a durability index of an aggregate. The
calculated durability index is a value indicating the relative resistance of an aggregate to
production of detrimental clay-like fines when subjected to the prescribed mechanical
methods of degradation.
• The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.

Significance and Use

• This test method assigns an empirical value to the relative amount, fineness, and character of clay-
like material that may be generated in an aggregate when subjected to mechanical degradation.
• A minimum durability index is permitted to be specified to prohibit the use of an aggregate in
various construction applications that is prone to degradation, resulting in generation of clay-like
fines.
• This test method provides a rapid test for evaluation of the quality of a new aggregate source.
Research has indicated it may also be suitable for use instead of the sodium sulfate soundness test
for evaluating the durability characteristics of fine aggregate for use in portland-cement concrete,
thereby reducing the need for time-consuming and expensive soundness tests.
