Aggregate Base Research • Team with ODOT, Contractors and Academia (OTI) • Design New Gradation • Require High Permeability • Producible • Field Test Project • Control Sections • Geotextiles • Various Gradations (new and existing) • Test at Various Stages • Constructed at the University of Oklahoma
AIMS Research • Researchers at the University of Oklahoma • Dr. Zaman, Dr. Laguros and Ashish Gupta • Coarse Aggregate • Quantify: 3-d Shape, Angularity and Texture • Sizes 4.75 - 37.5 mm • Fine Aggregate • Quantify: 3-d Shape and Angularity • Sizes 4.75 – 0.15 mm
Micro-Deval Usage • Adopted in 2003 by Special Provision for HMA • Max Loss of 25 for 30 Million ESALs • Paper and Field Performance Reviewed to set Specification • In-House Research Varied Temperature, Loading and Gradation • Change is not Easily Accepted • AASHTO Standard to be Revised
