Coated macadam (asphalt concrete) for roads and other paved areas – Specification for constituent materials and for mixtures
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2005 | 38 |
This standard covers the requirements for all types of coated macadam to be laid for roads and other paved areas. It specifies the constituent materials for macadam and provides recipe and design mixtures for achieving the required compositions. The binder contents of the different types of mixtures used in coated macadam are listed in tables throughout the standard. These tables are used by purchasers to order the different types of mixtures from suppliers or specifiers.

In some situations this might render the as-laid materials susceptible to early-l The flux shall have the following characteristics: The addition of the flux shall not result in fluxed bitumen with a penetration softer than 400 pen. No flux shall be used in the production of dense base (roadbase) and dense binder course macadams. Fluxed mixtures shall be clearly identified on delivery notes by including the letter F in the mixture description, e.g. 0/6 mm F medium graded surface course. Deferred set macadams, for use as depot stock materials in temporary works, shall be clearly identified on delivery notes by including the letters DS in the mixture description, e.g. 0/6 mm DS medium graded surface course.
