About This Item
ASTM D2940/D2940M is the ASTM standard for graded aggregate material used in bases or subbases for highways or airports. It provides a technical reference for this type of material so buyers, engineers, and quality teams can evaluate consistency and suitability with greater confidence. By defining a common specification framework, it helps support more uniform performance expectations for pavement support layers in transportation projects where aggregate gradation matters.
Overview of ASTM D2940/D2940M
This specification addresses graded aggregate material intended for use in base or subbase applications beneath highway and airport pavements. ASTM D2940/D2940M is relevant when project teams need a recognized standard for material selection, acceptance, and quality control. The document helps align procurement and testing activities around a shared technical basis, reducing ambiguity when comparing aggregate products and reviewing compliance for pavement support layers.
Common use cases of ASTM D2940/D2940M
ASTM D2940/D2940M is commonly used in specifications for graded aggregate placed as a base or subbase layer in highway and airport construction. It may be referenced during material sourcing, submittal review, and acceptance testing when the goal is to confirm that aggregate intended for pavement support meets the project’s specified requirements. The standard is especially useful where consistent grading and dependable layer performance are important to the overall pavement structure.
Benefits of using ASTM D2940/D2940M
Using ASTM D2940/D2940M helps establish a clear benchmark for graded aggregate material, which can improve consistency in procurement and evaluation. It supports more reliable communication between suppliers, contractors, and inspectors by tying expectations to a recognized ASTM standard. In practice, that can reduce uncertainty during material review, assist quality control efforts, and support more efficient compliance checks for highway and airport base or subbase applications.
