Material: Limestone
     
Product:   MDOT –  21AA (LS)
      
Applications: Structural base under portland cement concrete pavements
    Structural base under asphaltic concrete pavements
    Structural base under portland cement concrete slabs and foundations
    Structural fill           
    Surfacing for unpaved driveways, roads and parking lots
     
Description:   A dense graded base aggregate, produced by crushing, washing and screening high calcium or dolomitic limestone. A white to light gray colored sedimentary rock formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water. The particles are sized from 1 1/2” (37.5mm) to zero (dust).

General Usage Guide:  
  
The 21AA Limestone should be placed 6”-18” (150mm-450mm) thick, depending upon ground conditions and design loadings, in lifts not exceeding 8” (200mm).  Prior to the placement of any base material, the grade should be compacted and trimmed to the design density & elevations and be free of any standing water and not in a frozen condition.   Base material should be compacted at optimum moisture content (˜6%-8%) to 95%-100% relative density or to the compaction level as specified in the design plans. Care needs to be taken to minimize the amount of handling of the 21AA Limestone as handling operations will cause ‘dusting’ of the aggregates particles, increasing the amount of material passing the #200 mesh (75mm sieve).
