· A dense gradation refers to a sample that is approximately of equal amounts of various sizes of aggregate. By having a dense gradation, most of the air voids between the materials are filled with particles. A dense gradation will result in an even curve on the gradation graph. Wide range of sizes. Grain-to-grain contact. Low void content.
More DetailsThe resulting mixture or gradation of the dense-graded material may be thought of as somewhat analogous to a concrete mixture, with the fines, sands, and materials passing the No. 200 sieves serving as a mortar and the minus 200 material serving as a natural or weak binding agent. It must be remembered, however, that the fines act as
More DetailsDefined by AASHTO M 147 as hard, durable particles or fragments of stone, gravel or slag retained on the No. 10 sieve. Usually coarse aggregate has a toughness and abrasion resistance requirement. Fine gradation. A gradation that, when plotted on the 0.45 power gradation graph, falls mostly above the 0.45 power maximum density line.
More DetailsThe AASHTO Soil Classification System was developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and is used as a guide for the classification of soils and soil-aggregate mixtures for highway construction purposes. The classification system was first developed by Hogentogler and Terzaghi in 1929, but has been revised several times since.
More DetailsIn addition, soil properties that address angularity, consistency/relative density, color, moisture, structure, etc. have been defined. Soils are divided into four broad categories. These soil categories are coarse-grained ... then gradation criteria apply, and the gravel is classified as either well graded (GW) or poorly graded (GP). Well graded:

(3) Crush, screen, and combine materials to create a uniform mixture conforming to the predominant material specifications. (4) If the aggregate contains a by-product material, the department will test the final product for gradation,
More DetailsTypically gradation graphs use concepts of maximum density gradation and its expression in equation form to plot a special graph referred to as the FHWA 0.45 power graph. Maximum Density Gradation Theoretically, there exists a particular gradation that, for a given maximum aggregate size, will produce the maximum density.
