Tests for Evaluating Degradation of Base Course Aggregates
註釋A study was undertaken to develop procedures for predicting the amount and effects of degradation for different natural aggregates when used in a roadway base or subbase course, and thereby for determining their suitability, aggregate samples were collected from 140 quarries in 12 states, divided into four classes (carbonates and clastic sedimentaries, coarse-grained igneous and metamorphics, basalts and basalt-like rocks, and heterogenous gravels), and submitted to eight tests: percent loss, Los Angeles abrasion; freeze-thaw loss; specific gravity, percent absorption; insoluble residue; differential thermal analysis; x-ray diffraction analysis; and petrographic analysis, including a battery of tests for polished and thin section. Test conclusions regarding the four classes are given and discussed, and detailed data on samples are tabulated in appendices.
