AS 2758.0:2020 pdf free.Aggregates and rock for engineering purposes Part 0: Glossary and general series information.
3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this series, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 aggregate granular material produced from crushed rock, gravel, sand, metallurgical slag or reclaimed material, used in in civil construction products and engineering works 3.1.1 coarse aggregate aggregate in which the majority of particles are retained on a 4.75 mm AS sieve 3.1.2 fine aggregate aggregate, formed naturally in sand deposits or purpose-made by crushing and processing, in which the majority of particles pass a 4.75 mm AS sieve Note 1 to entry: Purpose-made aggregate is known as manufactured sand. 3.1.3 graded aggregate aggregate in which more than 15 % (by mass) of the total material is retained on at least each of three consecutive sieve sizesin a set Note 1 to entry: The typical sieve set used in Australia includes sieves with the following aperture sizes: 75.0 mm, 53.0 mm, 37.5 mm, 26.5 mm, 19.0 mm, 13.2 mm, 9.50 mm, 6.70 mm, 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 0.600 mm and 0.075 mm. This selection of sieves is approximately a quarter series. Note 2 to entry: Crushed rock that consists of a mixture of fine and coarse aggregates, the coarse fraction being graded, is considered a graded aggregate for the purpose of the AS 1141 series.
3.1.4 recycled aggregate aggregate derived from the processing of materials previously used in a product or from construction activities that would otherwise be sent to waste Note 1 to entry: Where recycled aggregates are to be used in construction, they should be subject to a separate works specification under the AS 2758 series. 3.1.5 single sized aggregate one sized aggregate aggregate in which at least 60 % (by mass) of the total material passes a sieve, which is immediately less than the nominal size of the aggregate and is retained on the sieve immediately following the selected sieve in the selected set Note 1 to entry: The typical sieve set used in Australia include sieves with the following aperture sizes: 75.0 mm, 53.0 mm, 37.5 mm, 26.5 mm, 19.0 mm, 13.2 mm, 9.50 mm, 6.70 mm, 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 0.600 mm and 0.075 mm. This selection of sieves is approximately a quarter series. 3.2 may indicates the existence of an option 3.3 nominal size designation of an aggregate that indicates the largest size particle present.AS 2758.0 pdf download.
