ASTM Aggregate Standards

This manual is intended to supplement, not in any way to supersede, the various ASTM test methods for sampling and testing aggregate and freshly mixed and hardened portland-cement concrete. The manual was prepared by Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates and has...

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for aggregate surfacing for roads, parking areas and Army airfields.

This specification covers the standards for the quality and grading of crushed stone, crushed slag, and water-worn gravel intended for use as coarse mineral aggregate on built-up roofs. The crushed stone and gravel shall be hard, durable, opaque, and free of foreign substances. The crushed...

1.1 This test method measures the quantity of aggregate needed to provide an opaque layer under laboratory conditions. Aggregate size Numbers 1 through 8, as listed in Classification D448, may be tested. 1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded...

1.1 This document contains a metric practice guide for concrete and concrete aggregates. It is broken down into inch-pound units, factor, and SI units.

This practice covers selected aspects for reclamation of recycled aggregate base (RAB) material derived from asphalt pavement or concrete. RAB may be called recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) or recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). This practice is provided related to material quality,...

This specification covers coarse aggregate, other than lightweight aggregate, for use in concrete. Several classes and gradings of coarse aggregate are described (Notes 1 and 2). Specifications for fine aggregate are provided in M 6. Note 1-This specification is regarded...

4.1 Use of recycled aggregate base has become commonplace in transportation applications. 4.2 RAB may be used alone or in mixtures with other aggregate materials (virgin and/or recycled) in the production of unbound base course materials. 4.3 Quality of RAB is critical for successful...

1. SCOPE: The material desired under this Standard is a type of aggregate known as emery aggregate.

This specification covers the quality and grading of fine aggregate for hydraulic cement concrete used in pavements or bases, highway bridges, and incidental structures. This specification is for use by a contractor, concrete supplier, or other purchaser as part of the purchase document...

(Footnote *) This test method covers the determination of the effect on mortar strength of the organic impurities in fine aggregate, whose presence is indicated using Test Method C 40. Comparison is made between compressive strengths of mortar made with washed and unwashed fine...

This test method covers the determination of the compressive strength of hydraulic cement grout for preplaced-aggregate (PA) concrete. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily...

This test method covers the determination of the effect on mortar strength of the organic impurities in fine aggregate, whose presence is indicated using Test Method C40/C40M. Comparison is made between compressive strengths of mortar made with washed and unwashed fine aggregate. The...

Lightweight aggregate concrete is undergoing something of a renaissance. Although this material has been available for many years, only now is it being used more widely. This book provides a comprehensive review of this growing field from an international perspective.

1. Scope 1.1 This is a provisional standard having completed the Subcommittee level of balloting through the ASTM consensus balloting system. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) version of the method is ACI 222.1-96. ACI has asked ASTM to develop a method as quickly as possible to...

This test method covers the determination of a durability index of an aggregate. The calculated durability index is a value indicating the relative resistance of an aggregate to production of detrimental clay-like fines when subjected to the prescribed mechanical methods of...

Essential requirements are given in this standard for the supply of water and aggregates, including recycled concrete aggregates but not including lightweight aggregates, suitable for use in the manufacture of concrete supplied in accordance with NZS 3104. NOTE - The...
