KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SPECIAL PROVISION TO THE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS, 2007 EDITION Add a new SECTION to DIVISION 1100: LOW-CRACKING HIGH-PERFORMANCE CONCRETE – AGGREGATES 1.0 DESCRIPTION This specification is for coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and mixed aggregates (both coarse and fine material) for use in bridge deck construction. 2.0 REQUIREMENTS a. Coarse Aggregates for Concrete. (1) Composition. Provide coarse aggregate that is crushed or uncrushed gravel, chat, or crushed stone. (Consider calcite cemented sandstone, rhyolite, basalt and granite as crushed stone (2) Quality. The quality requirements for coarse aggregate for bridge decks are in TABLE 1-1: TABLE 1-1: QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR COARSE AGGREGATES FOR BRIDGE DECK Concrete Classification Soundness (min.) Wear (max.) Absorption(max.) Acid Insol.(min.) Grade 3.5 (AE) (LC-HPC) 1 0.90 40 0.7 55 1 Grade 3.5 (AE) (LC-HPC) – Bridge Deck concrete with select coarse aggregate for wear and acid insolubility. (3) Product Control. (a) Deleterious Substances. Maximum allowed deleterious substances by weight are: Material passing the No. 200 sieve (KT-2) 2.5% Shale or Shale-like material (KT-8) 0.5% Clay lumps and friable particles (KT-7) 1.0% Sticks (wet) (KT-35) 0.1% Coal (AASHTO T 113) 0.5% (b) Uniformity of Supply. Designate or determine the fineness modulus (grading factor) according to the procedure listed in the Construction Manual Part V, Section 17 before delivery, or from the first 10 samples tested and accepted. Provide aggregate that is within ±0.20 of the average fineness modulus. (4) Do not combine siliceous fine aggregate with siliceous coarse aggregate if neither meet the requirements of subsection 2.0c.(2)(a). Consider such fine material, regardless of proportioning, as a Basic Aggregate that must conform to subsection 2.0c. (5) Handling Coarse Aggregates. (a) Segregation. Before acceptance testing, remix all aggregate segregated by transpor
