Physical Properties of Aggregates 3
Aggregate Properties• Consensus Properties - required
– coarse aggregate angularity (CAA)– fine aggregate angularity (FAA)– flat, elongated particles– clay content
• Source Properties - agency option – toughness– soundness– deleterious materials

Physical Properties of Aggregates 4
Coarse Aggregate Angularity
• Measured on + 4.75 mm material• Based on fractured faces
– fractured surface larger than 25% of aspect ratio
• ASTM D 5821• Specification requirements depend on:
– depth of layer within pavement– traffic level

• FAA and restricted zone used to limit the amount of rounded natural sands
• National Rutting Study initiated in 1987 by NCAT evaluated 42 pavements in 14 states. The study identified a minimum FAA value of 43.3% to resist rutting.

What Affect Does F&E Have on Performance?
• Tend to break under the roller exposing uncoated faces which may lead to stripping of the asphalt film off the aggregate in the presence of moisture
• Particles tend to orient flat under traffic, reducing pavement voids. May lead to flushing
• Change in shape affects mixture volumetrics

Physical Properties of Aggregates 51
Types Of Gradations• Open graded
– Few points of contact– Stone-on-stone contact– High permeability
• Well graded– Good interlock– Low permeability
• Gap graded– Lacks intermediate sizes– Good interlock– Permeability varies

Physical Properties of Aggregates 54
• Aggregate tests– Consensus properties - required– Source properties - optional
• Aggregate criteria– Based on aggregate blend – Based on traffic and depth into
pavement• Design aggregate structure
– 0.45 power chart– Controls points and restricted zone

Physical Properties of Aggregates 55
Effect of Physical Properties on Performance
• Size
• Higher size – greater bearing capacity– toughness critical to performance– poor packing characteristics

Physical Properties of Aggregates 56
Effect of Physical Properties on Performance
• Shape and Texture
• Flat and elongated versus cubical– Cubical: better interlocking and stability
• Rounded versus angular– Rounded: poor shear resistance, poor
interlocking – Angular: low workability
