Laboratory Testing of Aggregates for Road and Bridge Construction
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-12-0039
Project Abstract:
This project reviews existing documentation on direct shear testing of aggregates and the friction angles used in design of roads and bridges. For open and well graded American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASTHO) aggregates: (1) sieve analysis to verify AASHTO designation (ASTM C136-01) for the aggregates tested.
Goals
The primary objectives are:
- To compare strength results of AASHTO open-graded aggregates tested using large-scale direct shear.
- Investigate effect of relative density and scale on strength of open-graded aggregates.
- Quantify strength of AASHTO well-graded aggregates.
