DD Form 1217. Bituminous Mix Design-Aggregate Blending

DD Form 1217 - Bituminous Mix Design-Aggregate Blending is used to document the process of blending aggregates for bituminous mix design. The form captures information about the proportions and characteristics of aggregates used in bituminous mixtures.

The form consists of sections where users can record details about the aggregates used, their proportions, and gradations. It also includes spaces for calculating combined gradations and performing calculations to achieve the desired mix characteristics.

Important fields in this form include aggregate proportions, gradations, and calculations for mix design. Accurate documentation and calculations are vital for achieving the desired bituminous mix properties.

Application Example: Asphalt mix designers and engineers use DD Form 1217 to document the blending of aggregates, ensuring that the resulting bituminous mixture meets performance and durability requirements.

Related Form: DD Form 1216 is related, as it involves the specific gravity of bituminous mix components.

Alternative Form: AASHTO T 164 is a standard test method used for performing a laboratory determination of the combined gradation for asphalt mixtures.
