This research was conducted to determine if the specification for flat and elongated aggregates for use in Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) in Connecticut can be reasonably achieved. Currently, the ConnDOT specification allows for no more than 10 percent flat and elongated particles utilizing a 3:1 ratio.
Limits on flat and elongated particles are sometimes incorporated into specifications. Suggested upper limits on flat and elongated particles vary from 10% to 30% (Barksdale, 1991). Qualitatively, flat and elongated particles can cause problems, but there is no clear correlation between these specified limits on the particles and field performance.
