Overview

This is a three-day classroom and laboratory course that takes place over two half-days and two full days. The emphasis will be on developing an understanding of the ALDOT Procedure for the Acceptance of Fine and Coarse Aggregates (ALDOT Procedure 249).

• Sampling aggregates
• Materials finer than No. 200 sieve
• Unit weight and voids in aggregate
• Sieve analysis for fine and coarse aggregates
• Reducing field samples to testing size
• Sampling from a conveyor belt
