Designation:D 693 03aStandard Specification forCrushed Aggregate for Macadam Pavements1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 693;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers crushed aggregate suitable foruse in the construction of dry-or water-bound macadam basecourses and bituminous penetration macadam base and surfacecourses of pavements.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.The inch-pound units,shown in parentheses,are forinformation only.1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material.These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C 29/C 29M Test Method for Bulk Density(Unit Weight)and Voids in AggregateC 88 Test Method for Soundness of Aggregates by Use ofSodium Sulfate or Magnesium SulfateC 131 Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the LosAngeles MachineC 136 Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and CoarseAggregatesC 535 Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Large-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the LosAngeles MachineD 75 Practice for Sampling AggregatesD 448 Classification for Sizes of Aggregate for Road andBridge ConstructionD 3665 Practice for Random Sampling of ConstructionMaterialsD 4318 Test Method for Liquid Limit,Plastic Limit,andPlasticity Index of SoilsD 4791 Test Method for Flat Particles,Elongated Particles,or Flat and Elongated Particles in Coarse AggregateD 5821 Test Method for Determining the Percentage ofFractured Particles in Coarse Aggregate3.Ordering Information3.1 Orders for material under this specification shall includethe following information:3.1.1 Name of material(Crushed Aggregate for MacadamConstruction),3.1.2 ASTM designation(D 693 and year of issue),3.1.3 Grading(Size Number)to be furnished(see 5.7 andNote 3),3.1.4 Whether to be used in base course or surface course(see 5.1),3.1.5 Whether for dry-or water-bound construction,orbituminous construction(see 5.4),3.1.6 Quantity required,and3.1.7 Special requirements.4.General Characteristics4.1 Crushed Stone or Crushed GravelThe crushed stoneor crushed gravel shall consist of reasonably clean,tough,durable fragments.4.2 Crushed SlagThe crushed slag shall be air-cooledblast-furnace slag and shall consist of fragments reasonablyclean,tough,durable,and consistent in density and quality.4.3 Choking Material for Dry-or Water-bound MacadamBase CoursesThe choking material shall consist of naturalsand or the fine product resulting from crushing coarseaggregate.5.Physical Requirements5.1 DegradationThe aggregates(with the exception ofcrushed blast-furnace slag),when subjected to degradationtesting,shall have a loss not greater then 40%when used forsurface courses or 50%when used for base courses.NOTE1For some materials the LA Abrasion loss may not beindicative of the performance of the aggregate.In these instances thepurchaser,prior to determining the suitability of the aggregate use,may1This method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Road andPaving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.50 onAggregate Specifications.Current edition approved Dec.1,2003.Published January 2004.Originallyapproved in 1942.Last previous edition approved in 2003 as D 693 03.2For 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.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.consider the results of other tests,previous experience,and/or pastperformance of that aggregate in similar applications.5.2 Bulk Density of SlagAir-cooled blast-furnace slagcoarse aggregate,when tested in size No.57 or No.8,shallhave a rodded bulk density not less than 1120 kg/m3(70 lb/ft3).5.3 Crushed Pieces in GravelFor crushed gravel,theportion of particles retained on the 4.75 mm(No.4)sieve shallhave no less than 75%two fractured faces by mass of thatportion.NOTE2Some sources of gravel contain angular particles which willperform similarly to a mechanically crushed particle.Where laboratorytests or service records indicate this to be true,such angular particles maybe considered as crushed.5.4 SoundnessCoarse aggregate,for dry-or water-boundbase courses,when subjected to five cycles of the soundnesstest,shall have a weighted loss of not more than 20%whensodium sulfate
