GRANULAR MATERIAL FOR SUB BASE
B. Gravel shall consist of hard, durable and sound rock fragments, free from dirt, organic matter, shale and other deleterious substances.
C. Granular materials for sub-base shall meet the requirement of class A or B as shown in table 3.1.2, when tested in accordance with AASHTO T-27 after dry mixing and just before spreading and compacting. The class of granular material to be used shall be as shown on the Drawings or as selected by the Engineer. The actual gradation shall be continuous and smooth within the specified limits for each Class.

D. The material shall contain a maximum 5% clay content at any stage of construction when tested in the Hydrometer Test in accordance with AASHTO T88.
E. The loss in weight of granular material shall not exceed 50% after 500 revolutions, when tested in accordance with AASHTO T 96 (Los Angeles Abrasion Test).
F. The granular material shall have a 4-day soaked CBR of not less than 30 when compacted at 100% of modified proctor AASHTO (T 180-D) and tested in accordance with AASHTO T 193.
G. When tested for soundness in accordance with AASHTO T 104, the material shall not show signs of disintegration and the percentage loss in weight after 5 cycles shall not exceed 12 % in the case of the sodium sulphate test and 18% in the case of the magnesium sulphate test.
H. The portion of granular material, including any blended material, passing the 0.425 mm (No. 40) mesh sieve shall have a liquid limit (L.L.) of not more than 25 and a plasticity index (P.I.) not greater than 6 when tested in accordance with AASHTO T 89 and T 90.
E. The loss in weight of granular material shall not exceed 50% after 500 revolutions, when tested in accordance with AASHTO T 96 (Los Angeles Abrasion Test).
F. The granular material shall have a 4-day soaked CBR of not less than 30 when compacted at 100% of modified proctor AASHTO (T 180-D) and tested in accordance with AASHTO T 193.
G. When tested for soundness in accordance with AASHTO T 104, the material shall not show signs of disintegration and the percentage loss in weight after 5 cycles shall not exceed 12 % in the case of the sodium sulphate test and 18% in the case of the magnesium sulphate test.
H. The portion of granular material, including any blended material, passing the 0.425 mm (No. 40) mesh sieve shall have a liquid limit (L.L.) of not more than 25 and a plasticity index (P.I.) not greater than 6 when tested in accordance with AASHTO T 89 and T 90.
I. If additional fine material is required to correct the gradation the granular material, or for adjusting the L.L. or P.I. of the fraction passing 0.425 mm (No 40) sieve, it shall be uniformly blended and mixed with the granular material. Additional fine material for these purposes shall be obtained from the crushing of stone, gravel, or slag, if naturally occurring fine material is not available
