INTRODUCTION
This Thirty-Second Edition of Transportation Materials is published in two parts. Part 1 contains
specifications for materials, and Part II includes methods of testing and specifications for testing equipment. Part 1
contains 141 materials specifications and 50 Standard Practices, of which most contain both English and Metric
units of measure. Technical revisions were made in 24 of the standards since the Thirty-First Edition, 21 standards
were reconfirmed, two new standards were added, three standards were discontinued, and 15 standards were deleted.
A number of specifications were included in this publication at the request of the AASHTO Subcommittee on
Bridges and Structures.
Many of these specifications agree with those of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
In all cases where the Association and ASTM standards are technically identical, or substantially identical with
some changes, reference to the ASTM designation number is shown in the heading of the specification.
In previous editions, AASHTO has printed ASTM standards which have been adopted by AASHTO and
given an AASHTO designation. This was done under a long-standing copyright arrangement between AASHTO
and ASTM. Starting with the Thirty-First Edition, AASHTO-approved ASTM standards are not printed. Instead, the
AASHTO specification includes the corresponding ASTM designation number and any AASHTO exception to the
ASTM specification. A complete list of AASHTO specifications with corresponding ASTM standards is included
following the Table of Contents.
General jurisdiction over Association standards in this field rests with the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee
on Materials, which has members representing each of the 50 States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the
District of Columbia, that constitute the Member Departments of the Association, and the U.S. Department of
Transportation. In addition, the Subcommittee has representation from several of its Associate Members, including
the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Authority, and the Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey. Also represented on the Subcommittee are most of the Associations International Associate members,
including the Canadian Provinces of New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and
Saskatchewan.
Beginning in 1993 with the Sixteenth Edition, material specifications and test methods are published by
AASHTO each year. Annual revisions are voted upon by the Associations 52 Member Departments prior to the
publication of each new edition of this book, and if approved by at least two-thirds of the Member Departments,
they are included in the edition as standards of the Association.
Comments regarding these specifications are welcomed and should be addressed to the Executive Director of
AASHTO, 444 North Capitol Street, N.W., Suite 249, Washington, D.C. 20001. AASHTOs Web site and internet
address is http://transportation.org.

Standardizations, and Checks

Adopted AASHTO Provisional standard

PP 57 as a full standard.
The designation numbers of AASHTO materials standards are comprised of the following:
a letter that reflects the type of standardM for standard specifications, R for standard practices, or T for standard methods of test;
the unique sequential number of the standard in its type;
following a hyphen, the date of publication in its current form; and
in some cases, the year of its last reconfirmation in parentheses.
For example, M 326-08 (2012) would be a standard specification, would carry the unique identifying number 326 in the list of specifications, was initially approved
or last revised in 2008, and was reconfirmed without technical changes in 2012.

The designation numbers of AASHTO materials standards are comprised of the following:
a letter that reflects the type of standardM for standard specifications, R for standard practices, or T for standard methods of test;
the unique sequential number of the standard in its type;
following a hyphen, the date of publication in its current form; and
in some cases, the year of its last reconfirmation in parentheses.
For example, T 333-07 (2012) would be a standard method of test, would carry the unique identifying number 333 in the list of specifications, was initially approved
or last revised in 2007, and was reconfirmed without technical changes in 2012.

ASHTO PROVISIONAL STANDARDS

This is the sixteenth edition of the AASHTO Provisional Standards. The publication includes a complete set of
current protocols containing a total of 62 Provisional Standards. A chronology of the year-to-year status of the
Provisional Standards during the past eight years is included immediately following the Table of Contents. A
complete chronology is available on our website at http://downloads.transportation.org/chronological_summary.pdf.
All Provisional Standards are approved for publication by the AASHTO Highway Subcommittee on Materials. The
format for the Provisional Standards was developed by AASHTO in 1993, with an objective of providing a
mechanism for early distribution of materials specifications and test methods resulting from SHRP and other
research. Provisional Standards are standards which have been adopted by the Highway Subcommittee on Materials
on a temporary basis for a maximum of eight years. At any time during the eight-year period, the Subcommittee can
ballot to convert a Provisional Standard into a Full Standard.
A Provisional Standard is initially approved for two years by a vote of the Subcommittee. At the end of two years
and four years after the initial approval, the Technical Section of the Subcommittee responsible for the Provisional
Standard can extend its life by a voice vote or letter ballot for an additional two years. At the end of six years and
seven years after the initial approval, the Subcommittee can extend the Provisional Standards life by a voice vote or
letter ballot for an additional one year. If a Provisional Standard fails any extension vote, it is discontinued. At the
end of eight years, the Subcommittee can ballot a Provisional Standard for adoption as a Full Standard or the
Provisional Standard is discontinued.
The time period used to maintain the provisional status is used for the refinement of these standards on the basis of
the comments received from the users and other reviewers. It is planned that the Provisional Standards contained
herein will be considered by the Highway Subcommittee on Materials for inclusion in future editions of the
Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, either as Provisional
Standards or possibly as Full Standards as presented or in amended form, if the Subcommittee so decides in its
balloting.
The Subcommittee, so far, has converted 67 Provisional Standards into Full Standards. These Standards are now
regularly published in AASHTOs Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling
and Testing. At the same time, over a period of 18 years, 37 Provisional Standards did not receive the
Subcommittees approval. These standards, therefore, are excluded from this publication.
Future editions of AASHTO Provisional Standards will be published and released, as necessary.
In keeping with the concept of AASHTO Provisional Standards, comments on the Provisional Standards included in
this edition are welcome and should be directed to AASHTO at the address stated below.
