Abstract

In November of 1966, an investigation of the rigid Class I asphalt treated base specification, requiring 70 per cent crushed limestone, was initiated. It was felt that it might be possible to modify the need for crushed particles, in the construction of basis on heavy duty roads, at a savings, by using more local materials, without sacrificing strength and/or durability. This is a short study on typical sources of pit run gravel, with various percentages of limestone. It is conducted with an eye open to the possibility that our specifications may be modified. The possibility that further investigation may be desirable is not ignored.
