Sampling of Coarse Aggregate AASHTO T2 ASTM D75

Sampling of aggregates, Department of Public Works and Highways Laboratory Test Procedures Manual AASHTO T2 / ASTM D75 1. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE Sampling is equally as important as the testing, and the sampler shall use every precaution to obtain samples that will show the nature and condition of the materials which they represent. 2. PROCEDURE Sampling from a Flowing Aggregate Stream (Bins or Belt Discharge) Sampling from the Conveyor Belt Sampling from Stockpiles or Transportation Units Sampling from Roadway (Bases and Subbases) Sampling from Stockpiles AASHTO T2 Annexes a. In sampling material from stockpiles it is very difficult to ensure unbiased samples, due to the segregation which often occurs when material is stockpiled, with coarser particles rolling to the outside base of the pile. For coarse or mixed coarse and fine aggregate, every effort should be made to enlist the services of power equipment to develop a separate, small sampling pile composed of materials drawn from various levels and locations in the main pile after which several increments may be combined to compose the field sample. If necessary to indicate the degree of variability existing within the main pile, separate samples should be drawn from separate areas of the pile. b. Where power equipment is not available, samples from stockpiles should be made up of at least three increments taken from the top third, at the mid-point, and at the bottom third of the volume of the pile. A board shoved vertically into the pile just above the sampling point aids in preventing further segregation. In sampling stockpiles of fine aggregate the outer layer, which may have become segregated, should be removed and the sample taken from the material beneath. Sampling tubes approximately 30-mm min by 2-m min in length may be inserted into the pile at random locations to extract a minimum of five increments of material to form the sample. 4. Number and Masses of Field Samples 5. SHIPPING SAMPLES 5.1 Transport aggregates in bags or other containers so constructed as to preclude loss or contamination of any part of the sample, or damage to the contents from mishandling during shipment. 2.2 Shipping containers for aggregate samples shall have suitable individual identification attached and enclosed so that field reporting, laboratory logging, and test reporting may be facilitated Minimum Test Frequency https://www.gppb.gov.ph/laws/laws/CPE...
