.., . ,.., . 4. Do not use recycled crushed glass in friction course mixtures or In structural course mixtures which are to be used as the final wearing surface. " . " . 334-3 General Composition of Mixture. 334-3.1 General: Compose the asphalt mixture using a combination of aggregate (coarse, fine or mixtures thereof), mineral filler, if required, and asphalt binder material. Size, grade and combine the aggregate fractions to meet the grading and physical properties of the mix design. Aggregates from various sources may be combined. 334-3.2 Mix Design: 334-3.2.1 General: Design the asphalt mixture in accordance with AASHTO R35-04, except as noted herein. Prior to the production of any asphalt mixture, submit the proposed mix design with supporting test data indicating compliance with all mix design criteria to the Engineer. Include representative samples of all component materials, including asphalt binder. Allow the State Materials Engineer a maximum of four weeks to either conditionally verify or reject the mix as designed. Final verification of the mix design will occur when the requirements of 334-5.2.1 have been met. Do not use more than three mix designs per nominal maximum aggregate size per traffic level per binder grade per contract year. Exceeding this limitation will result in a maximum Composite Pay Factor of 1.00 as defined in 334-8.2 for all designs used beyond this limit. The Engineer will consider any marked variations from original test data for a mix design or any evidence of inadequate field performance of a mix design as sufficient evidence that the properties of the mix design have changed, and the Engineer will no longer allow the use of the mix design. 334-3.2.2 Mixture Gradation Requirements: Combine the coarse and fine aggregate in proportions that will produce an asphalt mixture meeting all of the requirements defined in this specification and conform to the gradation requirements at design as defined in AASHTO M323-04, Table 3. Aggregates from various sources may be combined. 334-3.2.2.1 Mixture Gradation Classification: Plot the combined mixture gradation on an FHWA 0.45 Power Gradation Chart. Include the Control Points from AASHTO M323-04, Table-3, as well as the Primary Control Sieve (PCS) Control Point from AASHTO M323-04, Table 4. Coarse mixes are defined as having a combined aggregate gradation that passes below the primary control sieve control point, and fine mixes are defined as having a gradation that passes above or through the primary control sieve control point. Use either a coarse mix or fine mix for Traffic Levels A-E. 334-3.2.3 Aggregate Consensus Properties: Meet the following consensus properties at design for the aggregate blend: 334-3.2.3.1 Coarse Aggregate Angularity: When tested in accordance with ASTM D 5821, meet the percentage of fractured faces requirements specified in AASHTO M323-04, Table 5. 334-3.2.3.2 Fine Aggregate Angularity: When tested in accordance with AASHTO T-304, Method A, meet the uncompacted void content of fine aggregate specified in AASHTO M323-04, Table 5. 334-3.2.3.3 Flat and Elongated Particles: When tested in accordance with ASTM D 4791, (with the exception that the material passing the 3/8 inch [9.5 mm] sieve and retained on the No.4 [4.75 mm] sieve shall be included), meet the requirements specified in AASHTO M323-04, Table 5.
