Part 1 contains specifications for materials, and Part Il includes methods of testing and specifications for testing equipment. Part I contains 163 materials specifications and 42 Recommended Practices, of which most contain both English and Metric units of measure. Technical revisions were made in 32 of the standards since the Twenty-Sixth Edition, 27 standards were reconfirmed, six new standards were added, three standards were discontinued, and two standards ‘were deleted. A number of specifications were included in this publication at the request of the AASHTO ‘Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures. ‘Many of these specifications agree with those of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). In all cases where the Association and ASTM standards are technically identical, or substantially identical with some changes, reference to the ASTM designation number is shown in the heading of the specification, In past editions, AASHTO has printed ASTM standards which have been adopted by AASHTO and given an AASHTO designation. This was done under a long-standing copyright arrangement between AASHTO and ASTM, The Twenty-Eighth Edition includes 42 AASHTO-approved ASTM specifications. These specifications ‘appear in this edition as the actual ASTM specification preceded by a cover page with the AASHTO designation number. Any AASHTO exception to the ASTM specification is indicated on this cover page. The numerical order of the specifications has been retained. A list of the affected AASHTO specifications is included following the Table of Contents, General jurisdiction over Association standards in this field rests with the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee ‘on Materials, which has members representing each of the 50 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, that constitute the Member Departments of the Association, and the U.S. Department of ‘Transportation. In addition, the Subcommittee has representation from several of its Associate Members, inclucing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. and the New Jersey Tumpike Authority. Also represented on the Subcommittee are most of the Association's International Associate members, including the Canadian Provinces of Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick. Beginning in 1993 with the Sixteenth Edition, material specifications and test methods are published by AASHTO each year. Annual revisions are voted upon by the Association's 52 Member Departments prior to the publication of each new edition of this book, and if approved by at least two-thirds of the Member Departments, they are included in the edition as standards of the Association. Comments regarding these specifications are welcomed and should be addressed to the Executive Director of AASHTO, 444 North Capitol Street, N.W., Suite 249, Washington, D.C. 20001. AASHTO's Web site and intemet address is http:/transportation org.Number AGGREGATES M608 M 17-07 1M 29-03 (2007) M 43.05 M45-06 M80-08 M 195-06 PART I SPECIFICATIONS, Table of Contents SUBJECT SEQUENCE BITUMINOUS MATERIALS M 20-70 (2004) M 81-92 (2004) 1M 82-75 (2004) M 140-08 1M 156-97 (2005) M 208-01 (2005) M 226-80 (2004) 1M 303-89 (2006) 1M 316-99 (2007) M 320-05 M 323.07 M 325-08 R508 R 14-88 (2007) R 15-00 (2004) R 26-01 (2008) R 28-06 R 29.08 R 30-02 (2006) R 35-04 R 46-08 R 47-08 Title Page Fine Aggregate for Hydraulic Cement Concrete nnunnnnnrnenrs M Goh Mineral Filler for Bituminous Paving Mixtures ...
