Section 4111. Class L Fine Aggregate for Portland Cement Concrete.

4111.01 DESCRIPTION.
Natural sands resulting from disintegration of rock through erosional processes. Acquire mineral aggregate from an approved source as described in Materials I.M. 409. Use Class L fine aggregate in Class L Porland cement concrete mixtures as specified in Materials I.M. 529.

4111.02 GRADATION.
Meet the requirements for Gradation No. 1 of the Aggregate Gradation Table, Article 4109.02. When the fine aggregate is sieved through the following sieves: No. 4, No. 8, No. 16, No. 30, No. 50, and No. 100 (4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 1.18 mm, 600 µm, 300 µm, and 150 µm), not more than 45% shall pass one sieve and be retained on the sieve with the next highest number.
