..., - "1 r"1 . testing, the corresponding Quality Control test result will be considered verified, and payment will be based upon the Contractor's data. 334-5.4.2 Plant Sampling and Testing Requirements: Obtain one random sample of mix per sublot in accordance with 334-5.1.1 as directed by the Engineer. Test the Quality Control split sample for gradation, asphalt binder content and volumetrics in accordance with 334-5.1.1. Complete all Quality Control testing within one working day from the time the samples were obtained. 334-5.4.3 Roadway Sampling and Testing Requirements: Obtain five 6 inch [150 mm] diameter roadway cores within 24 hours of placement at random locations as directed by the Engineer within each sublot. Test these Quality Control samples for density (Gmb) in accordance with 334-5.1.1. In situations where it is impractical to cut five cores per sublot, obtain a minimum of three cores per sublot at random locations as identified by the Engineer. Do not obtain cores any closer than 12 inches [300 mm] from an unsupported edge. Maintain traffic during the coring operation; core the roadway, patch the core holes (within three days of coring); and trim the cores to the proper thickness prior to density testing. Density for the sublot shall be based on the average value for the cores cut from the sublot with the target density being the maximum specific gravity (Gmm) of the sublot. Once the average density of a sublot has been determined, do not retest the samples unless approved by the Engineer. Ensure proper handling and storage of all cores until the LOT in question has been accepted. 334-5.4.4 Individual Test Tolerances for Quality Control Testing: In the event that an individual Quality Control test result of a sublot for air voids, or the average sublot density for coarse graded mixes does not meet the requirements of Table 334-4, terminate the LOT and stop production of the mixture until the problem is adequately resolved (to the satisfaction of the Engineer), unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the problem can immediately be (or already has been) resolved. Address any material represented by the failing test result in accordance with 334-5.9.5. In the event that an individual Quality Control test result of a sublot for gradation (P-8 or P-200), asphalt binder content, or the average sublot density for fine graded mixes does not meet the requirements of Table 334-4, or an individual core density is less than 91.00 percent of Gmm (for coarse mixes), take steps to correct the situation and report the actions to the Engineer. In the event that two consecutive individual Quality Control test results (for the same material characteristic) for gradation (P-8 and P-200), asphalt binder content, or the average sublot density for fine graded mixes do not meet the requirements of Table 334-4, or two individual core densities within a sublot are less than 91.00 percent of Gmm (for coarse mixes), terminate the LOT and stop production of the mixture until the problem is adequately resolved (to the satisfaction of the Engineer), unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Engineer that the problem can immediately be (or already has been) resolved. Address any material represented by the failing test result in accordance with 334-5.9.5. Any LOT terminated under this subarticle will be limited to a maximum Pay Factor of 1.00 (as defined in 334-8.2) for each quality characteristic. . ., . .., . .., . ., . ~ . ,., . ..., . ..., . .., . ..., . ., .
