(c) Width Requirements: The width of the completed base course will be determined in accordance with DOTD TR 602. Roadway base course width shall not vary from plan width in excess of +6 inches (+150 mm). Shoulder base course width shall not vary from plan width in excess of +3 inches (+75 mm).
In general, opengraded aggregate requires a high viscosity; a gradation, containing mineral filler, requires a less viscous grade. Aggregate, used in road mix, may be scarified from the existing subgrade or hauled in from a nearby source. A wide range of coarse and fine aggregate and mineral filler may be used.
This work consists of constructing a base course of aggregate and asphalt binder, mixed in a central plant and spread and compacted on a prepared surface. The requirements of Item 401 apply, except as modified by this specification. Composition. Furnish aggregate for the mix that conforms to the following gradation:
18) The mixture of aggregate, asphalt, cellulose fiber and additives shall be evaluated in the design stage for moisture susceptibility, unless otherwise shown on the plans. 19) Mixing Plant equipment changeable specifications: See Subarticle 4. (2) Mixing Plants, unless otherwise shown on the plans.

base course. Fines and Plasticity Index Notice also the difference in the fine material and the plasticity index (PI). While gravel surfacing allows 4% and up to 15% of the material to pass a #200 sieve, base course can have as little as 3%, but not more than 12% passing the same sieve. More importantly, the PI can fall to 0 in base
The mixed recycled concrete aggregate base course shall be transported from the plant to the job site in hauling equipment having beds that are smooth, clean, and tight. Truck bed covers shall be provided and used to protect the mixed recycled concrete aggregate base course from rain during transport.
Plant Mix Base: A foundation course produced in an asphalt mixing plant, which consists of a mineral aggregate uniformly coated with asphalt cement or emulsified asphalt. Plant Screens: Screens located between the dryer and hot bins, which separate heated aggregates into proper hot bin sizes.
construction of a SoilCement Base Course consists of processing soil, cement and water either mixed in place on the roadbed or by a traveling mixing plant. Dry Mixing When using multiple base mixing equipment, the soil and cement should be satisfactorily mixed prior to the addition of water.
Thin Friction Course Overlay (TFCO) Mixture Construct a thin friction course overlay surface mix composed of a compacted mixture of aggregate and asphalt binder mixed hot in a mixing plant and placed at a lift thickness of 3/4 to 1 inch. Districtwide Use.
the Engineer prior to beginning this work. If central mix plant methods are used, the central mixing plant shall comply with the following requirements: 1. The cold aggregate feeder shall be mechanically operated and adjustable to the extent necessary to provide a uniform and continuous flow of Materials.

The aggregate base must be compacted to the required density and have surface stability prior to surfacing. Surface stability is generally considered achieved when a tire produces rutting less than d inch (10 mm) in depth.
Crushed Aggregate Course . When crushed aggregate course is a bid item, construct the aggregate surfacing section to the specified typical cross section and profile grade. Select one of the following two options to construct the aggregate section: 1. Full depth crushed base course. 2.
Plant Mix Asphalt. The designation stands for Base Mix with a maximum size aggregate of 25 millimeters. This type of base asphalt is typically used on highways, streets or areas used by heavy commercial traffic. Base asphalt is covered with Intermediate and Surface plant mix or Surface plant mix alone, depending on the pavement design,...
Mixing may be done at a plant (plant mix) or on the prepared roadway base (road mix). Spread and compact the mixture at normal temperature. Add solvent such as naphtha or kerosene to a viscous bituminous binder to make it fluid with aggregate at normal temperature by either plant or road mix .
All producers supplying base courses shall have a certified base course plant technician present while base course material is being plant mixed and delivered to the project. This technician shall supervise base course production. (1) Control tests shall be performed by a certified base course plant technician. This technician shall obtain samples and test per MSMT Frequency Guide, Table 1 and 2.
The base course mixture shall be prepared in an approved mixer. When the aggregate is in the mixer, the bituminous material shall be added and mixing continued until a homogenous mixture is produced in which all particles of the aggregate are uniformly coated. The mixing period shall be determined by the Engineer. Transportation of Mixture.
