PROCESSED REEF SHELL BASE MATERIALS
824.01 Description.
Processed Reef Shell Base for the purpose of these Specifications is classified as a com posite base course material which contains a large percentage of Processed Reef Shell blended with portions of Selected Soil, Granular Soil, Soil Aggregate, or other approved materials.
824.02 General Requirements.
Processed Reef Shell furnished for use sh all comply with the requirements of Article 827.02 and, when combined with other material, shall produce the material complying with the designated type noted in the specific requirements provided in Article 824.03. Gradation may be obtained by the proper blending of local or other commercial materials and approximately 40% of reef shell by weight {mass} for Type A and approximately 60% reef shell by weight {mass} for Type B. Special note is made of the fact that, should the gradation run on the extreme fin e or coarse side, difficulty can be expected in obtaining the modified proctor density.

825.01 Description.
Crushed Aggregate Base for the purpose of these Specifications shall consist of 100 percent crushed stone conforming to the requirements noted in this Section.
825.02 General Requirements.
The crushed stone furnished for use shall conform to the general requirements of Section 801 and the specific requirements noted in Arti cle 825.03. Gradation analysis will be performed in accordance with AASHTO T 27. Gradation may be obtained by the proper mixing of certain regular ALDOT size aggregates as noted below; however, no specific gradation will be required prior to mixing operat ions. Type A - Approximately 75% ALDOT No. 610 with Approximately 25% ALDOT No. 8910. Type B - Approximately 50% ALDOT No. 410 with Approximately 50% ALDOT No. 810.
