(Specification)Standard Specification for Nontraditional Coarse Aggregates for Bituminous Paving Mixtures
Standard Specification for Nontraditional Coarse Aggregates for Bituminous Paving Mixtures
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the use of coarse aggregates not traditionally used in bituminous paving mixtures. These nontraditional aggregates can be described as any aggregate other than those described in Specifications D 692, D 693, D 1139, and D 5106, (crushed stone, crushed hydraulic-cement concrete, crushed blast-furnace slag, steel furnace slag, and crushed gravel) suitable for use in bituminous paving mixtures, as described in Specifications d 3515 or D 4215.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given in parentheses are for information only.
