Mot Asphalt Specification

This document outlines aggregate gradation and quality requirements for hot mixed asphalt used in base and wearing courses. It specifies three classes (A, B, C) for each course with corresponding sieve size ranges. Base courses must meet 75 blows on a compaction test and have 3-6% bitumen content. Wearing courses require 75 blows and 4-6% bitumen. Both must meet minimum stability, retained strength, flow, and voids specifications. Void in minerals content varies with aggregate size.
