AASHTO #57 Stone Specs AASHTO #57 stone as defined by quarries, state agencies, etc. is an open-graded, self-compacting aggregate blend of size 5, 6, & 7 stone. This material cannot be ''compacted'' in a true sense, but can be properly oriented with compaction equipment. This is particularly important when using #57 stone under Flexi-Pave surfaces.

Inaccurate bulking and compaction factors can add significant costs to all civil projects! Commonly-used bulking and compaction factor charts provide generic estimates, and don’t necessarily reflect the actual state of the material being excavated. Incorrectly estimated or misunderstood factors can add significant costs to a project due to

If adequate compaction is not being attained, the thickness of the lift may have to be reduced or the size of the roller or number of passes may have to be increased. EB 15-025 Page 13 of 30 4.

Re: Self-Compacting 3/4" stone. Many times a set of plans will call for rock to be compacted. This can not happen. Even with sand generally all you do if a vibratory compactor is run on it is to cause it to flow out from under the compactor. Things that have alot of fines like 304, 411 or soil can be compacted.

Using Pea Gravel as Flexible Pipe Backfill. Unfortunately, other “pea gravels” contain rounded particles of a single size, such as a washed river stone. Such fill material is difficult to compact and to place without adequate confinement to keep it from spreading. In this regard, what is the compaction factor for gravel?

Assume you are using dry gravel with a swell percentage of 15% and a shrink percentage of -7%. Plug those values into the calculator and it will tell you that the compaction factor = 1.237. Multiply the 1185 cubic yards by 1.237. 1185 * 1.237 = 1465.9. To complete this job you will need 1465.9 cubic yards of this gravel in loose state volume.

Shrinkage = volume after compaction/volume before excavation. Both the loose and compacted volume are calculated from the bank volume. Example: If you are excavating dry clay it is listed as having a swell of 50% and a shrinkage of -10%.

Compaction of Subgrades and Aggregate Base Courses Construction compaction is the process by which the weight-per-unit volume of soils and aggregates is increased by the use of applied force. This weight-per-unit volume, or density, is measured and compared to a laboratory-determined maximum density of the same material.

compaction, the ratio of the field dry density to the maximum dry density. However, conventional density-based compaction control is hard to implement for open-graded aggregate bases. During the construction of the base layer, the relative compaction of the compacted lift should meet certain target values.

The same soil compaction equipment used to compact clay soils will not necessarily provide optimal results when compacting sandy soils. Sand is best vibrated using a plate compactor, vibrating roller, or vibrating Sheepsfoot. This vibrating action will move the particles in place to achieve the best compaction results.

List of Bulking/Swell factors for various materials. The swell factor expressed in percentage is the amount of volume increase from bank volume (undisturbed, in place state) to loose volume (disturbed, excavated state) of the material due to voids (air pockets) added to the material after excavation.

What is the compaction factor for gravel? What type of gravel is used under concrete? Because concrete is a very porous material, it will absorb any moisture that it contacts. This can cause pooling. Without crushed stone, pooling water will settle under it and erode your slab.Adding a layer of crushed stone will add proper drainage, as well as create a barrier between your slab and the ground.
