**************************************************************************
Asphalt cement shall conform to [ASTM D 946], [ASTM D 3381] Grade [_____].
2.1.4
Additives
Additives shall not be incorporated into the mix without prior approval or
direction. The use of additives such as antistripping agents, antifoaming
agents, and silicone is subject to approval.
2.2
JOB MIX FORMULA AND RETAINED COATING
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The procedures for determining the JMF to be
used in the mixtures are described in TM 5-825-2,
Chapter 2, and TM 5-822-8, Chapter 9. Proportioning
of the aggregates for the JMF should be carefully
determined because the gradations will be those on
which the tolerances will be applied. Application
of these tolerances may cause the gradation to be
outside the limits of the gradation in Table I, but
this is acceptable.
