1103- AGGREGATES FOR HOT MIX ASPHALT (HMA) AGGREGATES FOR HOT MIX ASPHALT (HMA)

1103.1DESCRIPTION

This specification covers the quality, composition and gradation requirements of aggregates for hot mix asphalt (HMA) on QC/QA projects.

1103.2REQUIREMENTS

a.Composition Individual Aggregates. Use aggregate from each source that complies with the gradation

requirements listed in TABLE 1103-1.

(1)Crushed Aggregates. Limit crushed aggregates to the following materials.
(a)Produce Crushed Stone (CS-1) and Crushed Stone Screenings (CS-2) by crushing limestone,

sandstone, porphyry, (rhyolite, basalt, granite, and Iron Mountain Trap Rock are examples of porphyry) or other types of stone.

(b)Produce Crushed Gravel (CG) by crushing siliceous gravel containing not more than 15% non-

siliceous material. If 95% or more of crushed grav el is retained on the #8 (2.65 mm) sieve, then the material must have a minimum Uncompacted Void Content of Coarse Aggregate (UVA) value of 45 when tested in accordance w ith KT-80. Testing will be the same frequency as KT-50. Do not use material with a UVA value less than 45.

(c)Provide Chat (CH-1) obtained during the mini ng of lead and zinc ores in the tri-state mining

district.

(d)Consider materials complying with Mineral Filler Supplements MFS-1, MFS-2, MFS-4, and

MFS-7 as crushed aggregate.

(e)Produce Crushed Steel Slag (C SSL) by crushing electric furnace steel slag. Some sources of

steel slag are angular when produced and may be treated the same as crushed gravel and manufactured sand. Use steel slag with an Uncompacted Void Content of the Fine Aggregate “U” Value, determined by test method KT-50, of more than 42.00 and the Coarse Aggregate Angularity greater than the minimum specified value. The maximum allowable quantity of crushed steel slag is 50% of the total aggregate weight.

(f)Manufactured sand shall have an Uncompacted Void Content of th e Fine Aggregate “U”

Value, determined by test method KT-50, greater than or equal to 42.00. Produce manufactured sand by crushing siliceous sand and gravel (designate as crushed gravel (CG-2, CG-3, etc) in the mix design), or by washing or screening crushed stone (designate as crushed stone (CS-2, CS-3, etc) in the mix design), or by washing or screeni ng chat (designate as chat (CH-2, CH-3, etc) in the mix design).

(2)Uncrushed Aggregates. Limit uncrushed aggregates to the following materials.
(a)Produce Sand-Gravel (SSG) by mixing natural sand and gravel formed by the disintegration of

siliceous and/or calcareous materials.

(b)Provide Natural Sand consisting of particles fo rmed by the natural disintegration of siliceous

and/or calcareous materials. Use natural sand w ith an Uncompacted Void Content “U” value of less than 42.

(c)Provide Grizzly (Grizzly Waste) consisting of the matrix or bedding material occurring in

conjunction with calcitic or dolomitic cemented sandstone "Quartzite", generally separated from the sandstone prior to crushing.

(d)Provide Wet Bottom Boiler Slag (WBBS) consisting of a hard angular by-product of the

combustion of coal in wet-bottom boilers. Quality requirements do not exist for this material. Obtain written approval by the Chief of Construction and Materials for use in HMA. The use of WBBS does not modify the requirements for minimum contents of either crushed stone or natural sand.

(3)Mineral Filler Supplement. Provide a mineral filler supplement that is easily pulverized and free of

cemented lumps, mudballs, and organic materials that complies with the following and the general requirements in subsection 1103.2c. Do not blend 2 or more materials to produce mineral filler supplement. Provide only 1 mineral filler supplement in each HMA design. 1103- AGGREGATES FOR HOT MIX ASPHALT (HMA)

(a)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-1 is Portland cement, blended hydraulic cements,

or crushed stone.

(b)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-2 is crushed limestone.
(c)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-3 is water or wind deposited silty soil material.
(d)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-4 is Hydrated lime. The minimum allowable

quantity of MFS-4 or Hydrated Lime is 1% of the total aggregate weight when required as a supplement on the Contract Documents.

(e)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-5 is volcanic ash containing a minimum of 70%

glass shard. The maximum allowable quantity of MFS-5 is 5% of the total aggregate weight when specified as acceptable mineral filler supplement.

(f)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-6 is fly ash. Fly ash is the finely divided residue

resulting from the combustion of ground or powdered coal and is transported from the boiler by flue gasses. The maximum allowable quantity of MFS-6 is 3% of the total aggregate weight when specified as acceptable mineral filler supplement.

(g)Mineral Filler Supplement designation MFS-7 is processed chat sludge that has been

dewatered at the source of supply, and does not exceed 15% moisture content by weight at the time of shipping.

(4)Reclaimed Asphaltic Pavement (RAP). Use RAP in HMA only when such an option is permitted by

Contract Special Provision. Subject the RAP to the limitations (i.e. source, max. percent allowed in mix, etc.) shown on the Contract Documents and contained in the ap propriate Contract Special Pr ovisions. Screen the RAP through a 2 ¼ inch screen or grizzly before it enters the HMA plant. Fractionated Reclaimed Asphaltic Pavement (FRAP) is defined as having two or more RAP stockpiles, where the RAP is divided into a minimum of two fractions consisting of coarse and fine fractions. Subject the FRAP to the same limitations shown on the Contract Documents and contained in the ap propriate Contract Special Provisions for RAP. Comprise the maximum percentage of FRAP of coarse or fine FRAP or a combination of coarse and fine FRAP, unless otherwise stated in the Contra ct Documents. Utilize a separate cold feed bin for each stockpile of FRAP used. Add FRAP to the mix through the RAP collar. Include the processing requirements for each FRAP stockpile within the Quality Control Plan.

(5)Recycled Asphalt Shingles. Recycled Asphalt Shingles (RAS) are allowed in any mixture specified to

use RAP. The Contractor may use the %RAP as shown in the Contr act Special Provision or a maximum of 5% RAS and 10% RAP. Follow the guidelines in AASHTO PP 53 except as modified in this Special Provision. Drop the grade of the virgin binder one grade from both the top and the bottom grade specified for 0% RAP. For example, if a PG 64- 22 is specified for 0% RAP, then the virgin grade of the binder for up to 5% RAS and 10% RAP is PG 58-28. Comply with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s Bureau of waste Management Policy 2011-P3 or current version and other regulations pertaining to the recycling of shingles. Grind the shingles to a minus 3/8-inch size. Remove deleterious materials from waste, manufacturer, or new shingles. Use post-consumer RAS that contains less than 0.5% wood by weight or less than 1.0% total deleterious by weight. Determine the gradation of the aggregate by extraction of the binder or by using TABLE 2 as a standard gradation: TABLE 1103-1: SHINGLE AGGREGATE GRADATION Sieve Size Percent Retained 3/8 in. 0 No. 4 5 No. 8 15 No. 16 30 No. 30 50 No. 50 55 No. 100 65 No. 200 75

b.Quality of Individual Aggregates.

• Soundness, minimum (KTMR-21) ................................................................. 0.90 1103- AGGREGATES FOR HOT MIX ASPHALT (HMA) Soundness requirements do not appl y to aggregates having less than 10% material retained on the No. 4 mesh sieve. • Wear, maximum (AASHTO T 96) .................................................................. 40% Wear requirements do not apply to aggregates having less than 10% retained on the No. 8 sieve. • Absorption, maximum (KT-6) ....................................................................... 4.0% Test aggregates for absorption as follows: • Crushed Stone (CS-1) .............................................................

Screenings produced concurrently with CS-1 will be accepted without tests for absorption. Crushed aggregates with less than 10% materials retained on the No. 4 sieve (excluding mineral filler supplements) must be produced from a source complying with the official quality requirements of this Section prior to crushing. • Plasticity Index, the maximum P.I. for MFS-1, MFS-2, MFS-3, MFS-5, and MFS-7 is 6.
