The formula for figuring a BASE asphalt spread rate is
spread rate = thickness x gmm x 43.3
Has the same tolerance or +/-%5 as structural
Do not place friction course until
the shoulder has been dressed and grassed
FC-5 low end ambient air temperature is what?
65F unless the engineer approves use in 60F
If there is a rolling straight edge deficiency found on the friction course layer the contractor and
the engineer can elect to take a no pay instead of remove and replace. That formula is
length of deficiency (+50 ft both sides) x width x depth of layer
What is the minimum amount of RAP in a mix
Maximum 20% by weight of total aggregate

Use the AC(ARB) temperature correction factor
What is the spread rate for the chip spreader?
0.26 to 0.33 ft/syd
with the actual spread rate determined by the engingeer
