which ASTM standard to buy for aggregate gradation?
(OP)
Hello.
I am putting together a set of specifications for permeable pavement, and a few of the paver-stone manufacturers have suggested which aggregates to use as subbases.
I have seen the following called out:
"ASTM No.8"
"ASTM No.2"
"ASTM No.57"
Which standard would I purchase from either ASTM or another technical document provider?
I have found ASTM D-1241-07, which appears to be strictly about aggregate for bases/subbases. I just feel like I would be throwing a dart.
I really would like to purchase the actual standards which would show the actual gradation limits.
I'd prefer not have to purchase an entire volume, which includes test procedures ect.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much

Thanks very much!
I have purchased D-448 from www.techstreet.com for a mere $35.
The best $35 I ever spent.

Craig...If you are writing a specification for a pervious pavement wearing surface, you might want to consider using C33 as concrete producers are familiar with it. If you are writing a specification for only the underlying material as a graded aggregate, the D448 would be appropriate.
