  11. 2013 – Specification Changes • Release Material to Plant Operator or Lab Technician • Eliminated #8 Sieve for Acceptance • 6” x 4 ¼” x 9” Box Sample Size • Provide Storage Shed / Field Samples • Core Density Shall not Exceed 97%

  12. 2013 - Specification Changes • Eliminated 19mm binder with 76-22 • Increased Wearing RAP to 15% • Eliminated F.A. “E” or “H” Requirement • Target Gmb Plugs at 115mm (+/-)1.0mm • Rich Bottom Voids – Design at 4.0% • Additional AC to achieve 2.5% Voids • If Plant or Box Samples Fail for 3 Consecutive Days / Review JMF

  13. 2013 • HMA - Back to Basics: • Plant and Field Sampling (PTM 746) • T-209 , T-312 , T-166 • Equipment • 8” / 12” sieves • AASHTO T-30 – Max of 200g on each sieve smaller than the No. 4

  14. AASHTO T-209 • Removed air trapped in the sample - under pressure (27.5 ±2.5 mm Hg) and maintain for 15±2 min • Measure water temp and IF different from (77 ±2°F) use adjustment in Section 8.1

  15. AASHTO – T-312 • Place compaction Mold and Base Plate in an oven at the required compaction temp. for a minimum of 30 mins. prior to the estimated beginning of compaction. • Place the mixture in the mold in one lift. • Before reusing the Mold, place it in the oven for at least 5 mins.

  16. PTM 715 / AASHTO T-166 • T-166 (Method A) • Immerse individual specimen for 4±1min.and record the immersed mass • Remove specimen from the bath, damp-dry specimen by blotting with damp towel as quickly as possible (not to exceed 5 s) and determine surface-dry mass

  17. PTM -746 (Hauling unit) • EQUIPMENT: • A flat bottom, high sided scoop • Putty knife for scraping the INSIDE of the scoop • Starting low on the pile and extending upward, sample the mixture by creating an approximate 2’ long and 3” to 4” deep vertical furrow.

  18. PTM -746 (Hauling unit con’t) If the mixture is sampled from at least two places in the truck, place the material removed in this manner on a mixing board, thoroughly mix, Form into a flat pile and quarter to provide a representative sample of the required size. Scrape the INSIDE of the scoop at eachtransfer point to incorporate any fines sticking to the inside of the scoop.

  19. AASHTO R-47 Reducing Samples of HMA to Testing Size

  20. Mechanical Splitter for use in quartering HMA samples.

  21. HMA Issues on Data Input • Wrong #200 C/F used when calculating gradation. When corrected – several gradations were out of Spec. • Gradation on lower screen showed morematerial passing than previous screen • Incorrect tolerance band used for gradations – correct band showed Six sieves with Deviations

  22. HMA Issues on Data Input • Volumeter calibration changed Dry weight by 900g however the Volume remained the same? • Gmb plugs indicated the Dry specimen weight was heavier than the SSD resulting in negative absorption – if you reverse the weights the Va failed • Dry and SSD weights were exactly the same – no absorption? Field cores too!

  23. HMA Issues on Data Input • Wrong Gmm used for density cores • 2.435 was used for 95.4% density. • Actual was 2.534 for 91.7% (Failure) • 2 Gmb plugs had same weight • 1 plug absorbed 7g • 1 plug absorbed 23g • SAME Va % ???

  24. HMA Issues on Data Input • Gmb plug heights outside of the 110mm-120mm range yet still showed passing Va% • Gmb plugs always had 5g – 6g H2O absorption- no matter the plug weight or height variances

  25. PTC Materials Data Library E-DEL (Electronic-Data Entry Log) Bituminous –Data Entry Log (Bit – DEL) Concrete – Data Entry Log (Con-DEL) Aggregate – Data Entry Log (Agg-DEL)

  26. 2014 • PAPA website: • BIT DEL program • HMA Design Software for 2013 Designs • Materials Lab in Somerset : APPROVED • JMF approval • Producer to Provide Aggregate/Oil/Design Data • PTC Materials to Proof Design • Database for Future Designs
