| 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
4G 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 4G Limestone as handling operations will cause ‘dusting’ of the
aggregates particles, increasing the amount of material passing the #200
mesh (75mm
sieve). |
