Aggregate Gradation Optimization – Literature Search by MoDOT (Missouri)
A brief analysis of current MoDOT specified limits on gradations was undertaken. Depending on which side (fine or coarse) the gradations were running in relation to the limits, various combinations of sand and coarse aggregates A, B or D were all over the Coarseness Factor chart, with behaviour ranging from...
