Designation:D7064/D7064M08(Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forOpen-Graded Friction Course(OGFC)Mix Design1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7064/D7064M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the mix design of open-gradedfriction course(OGFC)using the superpave gyratory compac-tor(SGC)or other suitable forms of compaction.The OGFCmix design is based on the volumetric properties of the mix interms of air voids,and the presence of stone-on-stone contact.Information found in Guide D6932 should be reviewed beforestarting the mix design.Where applicable,Specification D3666should be applied as a minimum for agencies testing andinspecting road and paving materials.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C29/C29M Test Method for Bulk Density(“Unit Weight”)and Voids in AggregateC127 Test Method for Density,Relative Density(SpecificGravity),and Absorption of Coarse AggregateC131 Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the LosAngeles MachineC136 Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and CoarseAggregatesC1252 Test Methods for Uncompacted Void Content of FineAggregate(as Influenced by Particle Shape,SurfaceTexture,and Grading)D946 Specification for Penetration-Graded Asphalt Cementfor Use in Pavement ConstructionD2041 Test Method for Theoretical Maximum SpecificGravity and Density of Bituminous Paving MixturesD2419 Test Method for Sand Equivalent Value of Soils andFine AggregateD3203 Test Method for Percent Air Voids in CompactedDense and Open Bituminous Paving MixturesD3381 Specification for Viscosity-Graded Asphalt Cementfor Use in Pavement ConstructionD3666 Specification for Minimum Requirements for Agen-cies Testing and Inspecting Road and Paving MaterialsD4791 Test Method for Flat Particles,Elongated Particles,or Flat and Elongated Particles in Coarse AggregateD5821 Test Method for Determining the Percentage ofFractured Particles in Coarse AggregateD6114 Specification for Asphalt-Rubber BinderD6373 Specification for Performance Graded AsphaltBinderD6390 Test Method for Determination of Draindown Char-acteristics in Uncompacted Asphalt MixturesD6752 Test Method for Bulk Specific Gravity and Densityof Compacted Bituminous Mixtures Using AutomaticVacuum Sealing MethodD6857 Test Method for Maximum Specific Gravity andDensity of Bituminous Paving Mixtures Using AutomaticVacuum Sealing MethodD6925 Test Method for Preparation and Determination ofthe Relative Density of Hot Mix Asphalt(HMA)Speci-mens by Means of the Superpave Gyratory CompactorD6926 Practice for Preparation of Bituminous SpecimensUsing Marshall ApparatusD6932 Guide for Materials and Construction of Open-Graded Friction Course Plant Mixtures2.2 AASHTO Standards:3R 30 Mixture Conditioning of Hot Mix Asphalt(HMA)T 283 Resistance of Compacted Bituminous Mixture to1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Road andPaving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.23 onPlant-Mixed Bituminous Surfaces and Bases.Current edition approved Dec.1,2013.Published February 2014.Originallyapproved in 2004.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as D7064/D7064M 081.DOI:10.1520/D7064_D7064M-08R13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American Association of State Highway and TransportationOfficials(AASHTO),444 N.Capitol St.,NW,Suite 249,Washington,DC 20001,http:/www.transportation.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 Moisture-Induced Damage32.3 Other References:TRB Synthesis 284NCAT Report No.2001-01 Design,Construction,and Per-formance of New-Generation Open-Graded FrictionCourses3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 open-graded friction course(OGFC),nspecial typeof hot mix asphalt surface mixture used for reducing hydro-planing and potential for skidding,where the function of
