702.01 Asphalt Binders.

General. According to AASHTO M 320 -10 Table 1 except as follows. Ensure PG 70 -22M, PG 76 -22M, PG 88 -22M, and PG 64 -28 meet the requirements of Table 702.01 -1. An independent laboratory will not be owned or operated, in whole or part, by the binder supplier, Contractor, or affiliates of either. Materials and Manufactur e. Replace the requirements of AASHTO M 320 -10 Table 1 Section 5 “Materials and Manufacture” Section with the following: 5.1 Supply PG Binder from the refining of crude petroleum, or combination of asphalt binders from the refining of crude petroleum, or asphalt binders and suitable liquid from the refining of crude petroleum, and possible organic modifiers for performance enhancement. Material from the crude refining stream is considered neat. Liquid from crude refining may be used for adjustments, but do not used liquid from crude refining for the purpose of substitution of crude refined asphalt binder in a PG Binder. In the event of a failure investigation where asphalt binders exhibit 702.01 716 unusual properties a supplier may be requested by OMM to supply i nformation about the makeup of a PG Binder. Failure to cooperate will mean removal from Supplement 1032 certification. 5.2 A modifier may be any approved material of suitable manufacture that is proven compatible with asphalt binder (does not separate app reciably in routine storage), and that is dissolved or reacted in asphalt binder to improve its performance. Performance enhancement is defined as a decrease in the temperature susceptibility of the asphalt binder while maintaining or improving desirable properties in a neat asphalt binder such as coat ability, adhesiveness and cohesiveness. Unless otherwise noted limit modifiers to no more than 6.0 percent by PG Binder weight. 5.3 The use of previously used materials in a PG Binder must be approved by OMM. Since no standard test procedures exist for reprocessed materials (and original tests were not developed with the use of such materials in mind), appropriate test methods may be chosen by OMM for review. OMM approval does not relieve the binder suppl ier from full responsibility for content and use of any previously used material in a PG Binder nor guarantee suitable performance enhancement as defined above. The detected presence in a PG Binder sample of any unapproved previously used material will me an immediate removal from Supplement 1032 certification. Limit approved previously used materials to 5.0 percent by PG Binder weight maximum and provide a written certification to OMM stating the exact percent used, the source, and any brand or trade names. Approved previously used materials are only allowed to be used to produce PG 58 -28 and PG 64 -28 and suppliers must get recertified per Supplement 1032 for these PG grades . 5.4 Ensure the PG Binder is homogeneous, free from water and delet erious materials, and does not foam when heated to 350 ºF (175 ºC). Prove the asphalt binder (before modification or after modification if liquid modifier used) is fully compatible with a negative result by means of the Spot Test per AASHTO T 102 using st andard naphtha solvent. If standard naphtha shows a positive result, a retest using reagent grade 35 percent Xylene/ 65 percent Heptane (volume) may be used. 5.5 Ensure the PG Binder is at least 99.0 percent soluble as determined by AASHTO T44 or ASTM D7553. Ensure any insoluble component is free of fibers or discrete particles more than 75 µm. 5.6 Ensure flash point is 500 ºF (260 ºC) minimum. Ensure mass change on RTFO of the final PG Binder grade is 0.75 percent maximum. 5.7 Ensure that PG 64 -22 has a Penetration (AASHTO T49) of no more than 77. 5.8 Direct Tension testing is not required, unless otherwise required in this specification. Requirements for PG Modified Binder. Furnish PG Modified Binder according to the requirements of Table 702.01 -1 by modifying a non -oxidized, non -air blown, neat asphalt binder by using a styrene butadiene latex rubber compound (SBR polymer), a styrene butadiene styrene polymer block copolymer (SB, SBS polymer), an ethylene/ nbutyl acrylate/ glycidyl methacrylate co polymer (Elvaloy) as specified or Ground Tire Rubber (GTR) according to Supplemental Specification 887. For SB, SBS products the polymer supplier will certify to the refiner and Contractor that the polymer used meets a minimum 68 percent by weight butadie ne content. Perform SB, SBS, Elvaloy or GTR modification prior to shipment to the asphalt concrete mixing plant (pre -blend). Perform SBR modification at the asphalt 702.01 717 concrete mixing plant (post -blend) or prior to shipment to the asphalt concrete mixing p lant (pre -blend) where allowed by specification. Polyphosphoric acid (PPA) is allowed in PG binders as follows. PPA is a polymer of orthophosphoric acid. When using PPA ensure all the applicable requirements of the required PG binder in Table 702.01 -1 are met. Ensure PPA does not contain water. To retain Supplement 1032 certification, suppliers of PPA modified asphalt will provide a written certification to OMM that the amount of PPA used is less than 1.0% by weight of neat binder. Suppliers of PPA can ha ve their Supplement 1032 certification removed for not following the above PPA requirements. For each project, the PG Modified Binder supplier will give the Contractor a handling guide specifying temperature, circulation, shelf life, and other requiremen ts for assuring the PG Modified Binder will perform as desired. Give this handling guide to the Monitoring Team and place a copy in the plant control room and plant laboratory. If PG Modified Binder is retained at the asphalt concrete mixing plant for mo re than two weeks before use or beyond the supplier recommended shelf life, whichever is less, a top and bottom sample test (material property difference between samples taken from the top and bottom of the storage tank) will be performed by OMM on samples retrieved by the Contractor at the Laboratory’s direction. Do not use material on hand until approved.

[2] If a notable change in the properties of the aggregate originating from the affected source is determined from quality control testing, a retest of freeze -thaw resistance may be requested before the original expiration date. The Laboratory will make the determination to retest. [3] Except as n oted, the Department will not retest the material unless the producer of the material sends a written request to the Department with substantiation that significant changes in operation have been made (e.g., new processing equipment, material from a new le dge, etc.). [4] If the average total percent expansion is greater than 0.020, but the durability is greater than or equal to 100, the department may accept the source for two years. The Laboratory will maintain a list of approved sources.

703.14 Non Pavement Open -Hearth, Electric Arc Furnace, and Basic

Oxygen Furnace Steel Slag Aggregate Use . Provide steel slag according to the following requirements.

1.Non-confined Applications. When using OH, EAF, and BOF slag in applications where the steel slag will not be confined, ensure that the slag meets the requirements in 703.14.A (deleterious substances and crushing), and in 703.14.B (aging and stockpiling requirements). Recycled steel slag from Department or non - Department projects may be used in applica tions where the recycled steel slag will not be confined.
2.Confined Applications. When using OH, EAF, and BOF slag in applications where the steel slag will be confined, ensure the steel slag meets all requirements of

703.14 The use of recycled steel sl ag from Department or non -Department projects

is not allowed in confined applications.

A.Deleterious Substances (soft pieces) . Deleterious substances include soft lime, lime oxide,or magnesia agglomerations or any foreign materials prone to rapid disinteg ration under construction processing and weathering conditions. Furnish steel slag with less than 3 percent deleterious substances (soft pieces) by weight. The Department will use Supplement 1029 (hand crushing of soft pieces) to determine the soft pieces. Crushing of steel slag is not allowed.
B.Aging and Stockpiling Requirements . Stockpile and age all steel slag as follows:
1.Grade and stockpile the material into maximum size piles of 25,000 ton (23,000 metric tons). Before and during the stockpiling op eration, add water to these materials to provide a uniform moisture content not less than their absorbed 703.14 738 moisture. Ensure that the stockpile is maintained in a moist condition during the required stockpiling period.
2.Ensure that the producer mixes the st ockpile when the outside surface of the pile has crusted over. The Department will inspect the stockpile every 2 months to ensure no crusting occurs. Do not mix frozen stockpile material. Suspend the aging period when the stockpile is frozen for more than one month.
3.Ensure that this aging period is at least 6 months in duration and starts over if any new material is added to the pile during the aging period.
C.Identification of Steel Slag . Clear, definitive, and undisputable identification of the propos ed material being steel slag is required. The producer will show the Department evidence that the material supplied is steel slag. This information will consist of, but is not limited to, the following:
1.Steel producer.
2.Production dates.
3.Production rates.
4.Stockpiling dates.
5.Type of steel furnace(s).
6.All known Department and non -Department projects where the material was previously used. This identification of steel slag and the source may be supplemented by other information approved by th e Department or by using 10 years of good performance data. Ensure that the producer submits to the Department projects where the steel slag has been used without expansion or tufa problems. The Department will review the above projects as part of the iden tification approval process.
D.Tufa Performance Verification of Steel Slag . Tufa is a precipitate form of calcium carbonate that can clog up the underdrain systems. Some steel slag sources clog up underdrain systems and some do not. Tufa performance verif ication is based on field performance and Department’s inspection of the underdrain systems. Tufa performance verification is required. Ensure that the producer submits past projects that are at least 10 years old that used the proposed steel slag source t o the Department. The Department may consider projects that are less than 10 years old for tufa performance verification if it can be determined by the Department that the age of the steel slag incorporated in the project was 10 years old or greater. Ensur e the producer supplies the Department with construction plans with the underdrains and underdrain outlets marked on the plans, or other suitable method, approved by the Department, showing the underdrain system. Ensure the producer marks the underdrain ou tlets in the field for inspection. The Department will inspect the underdrain systems for tufa deposits. If tufa deposits are found in the outlets or in the underdrain system, the Department will reject the steel slag source.
E.Expansion Testing of Steel Slag. After the aging and stockpiling requirements are met, expansion testing is required for steel slag. 703.16 739 Perform expansion testing according to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation PTM No. 130, the ODOT equivalent to this test or expansion testing acceptable to the Department. Ensure that the producer hires an independent AASHTO accredited and Department approved laboratory to perform at least half of the expansion testing. At the producer’s option, up to half of the required expansion testing may be performed by the producer’s laboratory. The Laboratory will observe the expansion testing and approve each independent and producer laboratory. Perform expansion testing for every 2500 tons (2300 metric tons) or fraction thereof of the material stockpiled in accordance with 703.14.B. For steel slag less than 10 years old, retain a spilt portion of the expansion sample. Reduce the split sample to 5 lbs (2500 g) and test for total percent MgO by X -Ray florescence and total percent periclase (hard burne d MgO) by X -Ray diffraction. The maximum allowable total expansion for each test is less than 0.50 percent. If any one test fails in the stockpile, the Department will reject the entire stockpile. When sampling for expansion, ensure that the producer notif ies the Department at least 48 hours before the sampling. The Department will verify that the sample came from the correct stockpile and take independent split samples, if required. Submit the expansion test data and a suitably presented summary of the expansion test data to the Department for approval. Submit X -Ray florescence and X-Ray diffraction data to the Department. The Department reserves the right to perform independent testing to verify the laboratory results at any time. The Department expansion test data takes precedence over the producer or independent laboratory expansion testing results in the event of a conflict. The Department will make the final determination on all conflicting data. If the material fails the expansion testing, then stockpi le the material for a minimum of two additional months from the date of last sampling and retest for expansion. Only materials that pass the expansion test are approved for use.

1.Obtain a piece of shale that is typical and representative of the rest of the shale. The size of the piece should be about 6 inches (150 mm). If a 6 -inch (150 mm) sample is not available, then the shale is nondurable.
2.Place the piece of shale in a bucket of water. Examine the deterioration or slaking of the shale after 48 hours. If the shale has deteriorated, then the shale is nondurable.
3.If the shale has not deteriorated after being in water for 48 hours, then break down the shale o ver a 3/4 inch (19.0 mm) sieve by hand pressure. If 75 percent or less of the shale is retained on the 3/4 inch (19.0 mm), then the shale is nondurable.
4.If more than 75 percent of the shale is retained on the 3/4 inch (19.0 mm) sieve or, then perform a field test for durability. The field test for durability consists of compacting the shale with six passes of a steel drum roller which has a minimum compaction force of 500 pounds per lineal inch (57 kN/mm) of roller drum width. Provide documentation to the Engineer to verify the roller meets the compaction force requirement.
a.If more than 40 percent of the shale breaks down, by visual inspection, then the shale is nondurable.
