4123.01     DESCRIPTION.

Aggregate of the following Types:

·         Crushed stone,

·         Gravels for which 75% or more of the particles retained on the 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) sieve have at least one fractured face as defined in Materials I.M. 305,

·         Recycled pavements meeting Materials I.M. 210, or

·         Uniformly blended combinations of these materials with a maximum of 50% RAP.

 

4123.02     GRADATION.

 

A.    Meet the requirements for Gradation No. 14 of the Aggregate Gradation Table, Article 4109.02.

 

B.    Process RAP to pass the 2 inch (50 mm) sieve.

 

C.    Uncrushed gravel and/or sand may be uniformly blended with crushed recycled pavement or crushed stone at a maximum rate of 50% to meet gradation requirements.
