EQUIPMENT
All equipment necessary to mix, transport, place, compact, and finish the CTB material shall be furnished
by the Contractor. The equipment shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer at the job site prior to
the start of construction operations.
304-4.1 Mixing. The mixer shall be a batch or continuous-flow type stationary mixer. The mixer shall be
equipped with calibrated metering and feeding devices that introduce the aggregate, cement, water, and
cementitious additives (if used) into the mixer in the specified quantities. If necessary, a screening device
shall be used to remove oversized material greater than 2 inches (50 mm) from the raw aggregate feed
prior to mixing.
The Engineer shall have free access to the plant at all times for inspection of the plant’s equipment and
operation and for sampling the CTB mixture and its components.
304-4.2 Hauling. The mixed CTB material shall be transported from the plant to the job site in trucks or
other hauling equipment having beds that are smooth, clean, and tight. Truck bed covers shall be provided
and used to protect the CTB from rain. CTB material that becomes wet during transport shall be rejected.
304-4.3 Placing. CTB material shall be placed using a mechanical spreader or a machine capable of
receiving, spreading, and shaping the mixture without segregation into a uniform layer or lift. The
equipment shall be equipped with a strike-off plate capable of being adjusted to the specified layer
thickness. It shall also be equipped with two end gates or cut off plates, so that the CTB may be spread in
widths varying up to lane width.
304-4.4 Compaction. Compaction of the CTB layer shall be accomplished using one or a combination of
the following pieces of equipment: tamping or grid roller; steel-wheeled roller; vibratory roller;
pneumatic-tire roller, and/or vibrating plate compactor (for areas inaccessible to rollers). The number,
type, and weight of rollers and/or compactors shall be sufficient to compact the mixture to the required
density.
304-4.5 Finishing. Final trimming of the compacted CTB to meet surface requirements shall be
accomplished using a self-propelled grader or trimming machine, with a mold board cutting edge, which
is at least 12 feet (3.7 m) wide and is automatically controlled by sensors in conjunction with an
independent grade control from a taut stringline. Stringline will be required on both sides of the sensor

7/21/2014 AC 150/5370-10G
controls for the pilot lane. For all other lanes, a single stringline on the outside and grade matching with
previously completed adjacent lanes is permissible.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS
304-5.1 Weather limitations.
304-5.1.1 Cold weather. Do not construct [ base ] [ subbase ] when weather conditions will
detrimentally affect quality of the finished course. Apply cement when the ambient temperature is a
minimum of 40°F (4C) and rising. Do not apply cement to aggregate materials that are frozen or contain
frost. If ambient temperature falls below 40°F (4C), protect completed cement-treated areas against
freezing. Reprocess, reshape, and recompact damaged material. The CTB shall not be placed on frozen
surfaces. Provide drainage to prevent water from collecting or standing on stabilized areas, and on the
pulverized, mixed, or partially mixed materials.
304-5.1.2 Rain. The CTB may not be placed when it is raining. If unexpected rain occurs during
placement, the layer should be quickly compacted. CTB material that becomes wet by rain during
transport or placement shall be evaluated by the Engineer, and may be rejected.
304-5.2 Preparation of underlying course. The underlying course shall be checked by the Engineer
before placing and spreading operations are started, to ensure that it is free of any ruts, depressions, or
bumps and is finished to the correct grade. Any ruts or soft yielding places shall be corrected before the
CTB mixture is placed. The underlying course shall be wetted in advance of placing the CTB layer. The
final prepared grade prior to placing the CTB should be in a firm and moist condition free of frost. Use of
chemicals to eliminate frost will not be permitted.
To ensure proper drainage, placement of the base shall begin along the centerline of the pavement on a
crowned section or on the highest elevation contour of a pavement with variable cross slope.
304-5.3 Grade control. Grade control between the edges of the CTB shall be accomplished at intervals of
50 feet (15 m) or less on the longitudinal grade and at 25 feet (7.5 m) or less on the transverse grade.
304-5.4 Handling, measuring, and batching. The continuous flow central plant site, layout, equipment,
and provisions for transporting material shall assure a continuous supply of material to the work.
Aggregate stockpiles shall be constructed in a manner that prevents segregation and intermixing of
deleterious materials. Aggregates that are segregated or mixed with earth or foreign material will not be
accepted.
Continuous flow plants shall be equipped with feeders to automatically and accurately proportion
aggregates and bulk cement, by weight. When bulk cement is used, the Contractor shall use a suitable
method of handling the cement such as a chute, boot or other device, to prevent loss of cement between
the weigh hopper and mixer. The device shall provide positive assurance that the specified cement content
is present in each batch.
304-5.5 Mixing. Aggregate and cement may be proportioned either by weight or volume, and shall be
mixed sufficiently to prevent the forming of cement balls when water is added. The mixing time shall be
that required to secure a well-blended, uniform mixture of aggregate, cement, water, and pozzolan (if
used). The minimum mixing time will be based on the uniformity and consistency of the mixture.
304-5.6 Placing. The CTB mixture shall be deposited on the moistened subgrade or subbase and spread
into a uniform layer of specified width and thickness that, when compacted and trimmed, conforms to the
required line, grade, and cross-section. The Contractor may install the CTB layer in single or multiple
compacted lifts; however, each compacted lift must be no greater than 6 inches (150 mm) thick. In multi-
lift construction, the surface of the compacted lift shall be kept moist until covered with the next lift.

Item P-304 Cement-Treated Base Course 195

AC 150/5370-10G 7/21/2014
Successive lifts shall be placed and compacted so that the required total depth of the CTB layer is
completed within 12 hours.
A single spreader may be used, provided it is capable of placing a uniform, full-depth layer of material
across the full width of the base in one pass. Otherwise, two or more spreaders will be required, and shall
be operated so that spreading progresses along the full width of the base in a uniform manner.
304-5.7 Compaction. Immediately upon completion of the spreading operations, the CTB material shall
be thoroughly compacted using approved compaction equipment. At the start of compaction, the moisture
content shall be within ±2 percentage points of the specified optimum moisture.
304-5.8 Finishing. After completing compaction, the surface of the CTB layer shall be shaped to the
specified lines, grades, and cross-section. During the finishing process, the surface shall be kept moist by
means of fog-type sprayers. Compaction and finishing shall produce a smooth, dense surface, free of ruts,
cracks, ridges, and loose material. All placement, compaction, and finishing operations shall be completed
within two (2) hours from the start of mixing. Material not completed within the 2-hour time limit shall be
removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense.
CTB layer limits that extend beyond the edges of the new PCC surface course shall be rolled down or
shaped to ensure the drainage is away from the new PCC surface course edge.
304-5.9 Construction joints. At the end of each day’s construction, a transverse construction joint shall
be formed that is a true vertical face (perpendicular to the centerline) and is free of loose material.
Longitudinal construction joints (parallel to the centerline) shall be formed to a consistent, well-defined
vertical edge that is free of loose material. The longitudinal joints shall be located so there is a 2-foot (0.6-
m) minimum offset from planned joints in any overlying layer.
While forming construction joints, the Contractor shall make sure the material in the joint area is
adequately compacted and that the joints are finished level and even with the remainder of the CTB layer.
304-5.10 Curing. The compacted and finished CTB shall be cured with the approved curing agents as
soon as possible and in no case later than two (2) hours after completion of the finishing operations. The
layer shall be kept moist using a moisture-retaining cover or a light application of water until the curing
material is applied.
[ When asphalt emulsion is used as the curing agent, the entire surface
of the CTB layer shall be uniformly sprayed with the emulsion at a
rate of between 0.15 and 0.30 gallons per square yard (0.7 and 1.4
l/m2); the exact temperature and rate of application being that
required to achieve complete and uniform coverage without runoff.
Apply sand at [ ] pounds per square yard (kg/m2) to treated surfaces
requiring protection from traffic. ]
[ When a liquid membrane-forming curing compound is used as the curing
agent, the surface of the CTB layer shall be uniformly sprayed with
the curing compound at the rate of one gallon (3.8 liters) to not more
than 200 square feet (18.6 m2) to obtain a uniform cover over the
surface. The spraying equipment shall be of the fully atomizing type
equipped with a tank agitator. The curing compound shall be thoroughly
and uniformly mixed with the pigment in the storage tank. During
application, the compound shall be stirred continuously by mechanical
means. Hand spraying of odd widths or shapes and CTB surfaces exposed
by the removal of forms is permitted. ]

196 Item P-304 Cement-Treated Base Course

7/21/2014 AC 150/5370-10G
************************************************************************************
The Engineer shall select the curing method.
************************************************************************************

The curing seal shall be maintained and protected until the pavement is placed. If the surface of the
finished CTB and/or the curing seal becomes damaged, additional curing material shall be applied at the
time it is damaged or when the damage is first observed.
304-5.11 Protection. Completed portions of the cement-stabilized area may be opened to local traffic
provided the curing process is not impaired and to other traffic after the curing period has elapsed,
provided that the cement-stabilized course has hardened sufficiently to prevent surface marring or
distortion by equipment or traffic. Do not permit construction equipment on the area during protection
and curing periods. Necessary cement and water may be hauled over the area with pneumatic-tired
equipment on approval of the Engineer. Protect finished portions of cement stabilized base from traffic of
equipment used in constructing adjoining sections in a manner to prevent marring or damaging completed
work. The CTB shall also be protected from freezing at all times.
[ 304-5.12 Bond-breaker. When the CTB is to be placed directly beneath
PCC, the entire surface of the CTB shall be coated with a de-bonding
compound applied in a quality sufficient to prevent bonding of the PCC
pavement to the base course. If an impervious membrane or asphalt
emulsion is used as a curing material, additional applications of
curing materials may be required. The Contractor shall be responsible
for selecting the de-bonding compound and determining the necessary
application rate. The de-bonding compound shall be approved by the
Engineer prior to being incorporated into the work. ]
************************************************************************************
Delete paragraph 304-5.12 if the CTB will not be placed directly beneath PCC.
************************************************************************************

MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE
304-6.1 Acceptance sampling and testing. All acceptance sampling and testing, with the exception of
thickness determination, necessary to determine conformance with the requirements specified in this
section will be performed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall provide the required CTB samples during
construction for acceptance testing purposes. The samples shall be taken in the presence of the Engineer.
Testing organizations performing these tests shall meet the requirements of ASTM D3666. All test
equipment in Contractor-furnished laboratories shall be calibrated by the testing organization prior to the
start of operations.
The CTB layer shall be tested for density, thickness, grade, and surface tolerance on a lot basis, with a lot
consisting of either (1) one day’s production not to exceed 2,000 square yards (1700 sq m), or (2) a half
day’s production, where a day’s production consists of 2,000 to 4,000 square yards (1675 to 3350 m2).
Each lot shall be divided into four equal sublots. Within each sublot, one density test, one thickness
measurement, and continuous surface straightedge tests (surface tolerance testing) shall be performed, as
described below. Sampling locations shall be determined by the Engineer per ASTM D3665.

Item P-304 Cement-Treated Base Course 197

AC 150/5370-10G 7/21/2014
If only three sublots are produced, the three sublots shall constitute a complete lot. If one or two sublots
are produced for the same reason, they shall be incorporated into the next or previous lot, and the total
number of sublots shall be used in the acceptance criteria calculation.
End-of-production sublots (that is, sublots associated with the final placement of CTB for the project and
are less than a complete lot) shall be handled as (1) three sublots shall constitute a lot, or (2) one or two
sublots shall be incorporated into the previous lot.
304-6.1.1 Density testing. CTB samples shall be taken from each sublot and used to create laboratory test
specimens representing the various sublots. The specimens shall be compacted and tested for density and
moisture content per ASTM D558. The density for each sublot comprising a lot, shall be used to
determine an average density for the lot, which will serve as the basis for acceptance of the lot for density.
Within each sublot in the field, one in-place density test shall be performed in accordance with [ ASTM
D1556 ] [ ASTM D2167 ] [ ASTM D6938 ]. The location of the test shall be randomly selected
per ASTM D3665. The in-place density for each sublot comprising the lot shall be averaged and
compared with the corresponding average lot density. Acceptance criteria for CTB density are provided in
paragraph 304-6.2.1. All testing shall be done by [ the Engineer. ] [ the Contractor’s
laboratory in the presence of the Engineer and density test results
shall be furnished upon completion to the Engineer for acceptance
determination. ]

************************************************************************************
The Engineer shall select the appropriate ASTM for in-place density determination.
************************************************************************************

304-6.1.2 Thickness testing. The CTB shall be tested for thickness using the same lot and sublots
established for density testing. After three (3) days of curing, one 3-inch (75 mm) diameter core per
sublot shall be obtained from a random location, per ASTM D3665. The thickness of each sampled core
shall be determined using the caliper measurement procedures provided in ASTM C174. The average
thickness for the lot shall be determined using the individual sublot core thicknesses. Acceptance criteria
for CTB thickness are provided in paragraph 304-6.2.2. At all locations where cores have been drilled, the
resulting core holes shall be filled by the Contractor with CTB or non-shrink grout.
304-6.1.3 Grade testing. The elevations of the finished CTB shall be surveyed every 25 feet (7.5 m) on
both sides of the CTB lane as soon as it has hardened sufficiently. Acceptance criteria for CTB grade are
provided in paragraph 306-6.2.3.
304-6.1.4 Surface tolerance testing. After the CTB has hardened sufficiently, it shall be tested for
surface tolerance with a 12-foot (3.7-m) straightedge or other approved measuring device for tolerances
outlined in paragraph 304-6.2.
304-6.2 Acceptance criteria. Acceptance of CTB will be based on density, thickness, grade, and surface
tolerance, as described in the paragraphs below.
304-6.2.1 Density requirements. For density, each lot of compacted material will be accepted without
adjustment if the average in-place density of the lot is equal to or greater than 98% of the average
laboratory density determined for the lot. Each lot of compacted CTB shall be accepted and payment
adjusted in accordance with the table below.

If the average density is below 95%, the lot will be rejected and shall be removed and replaced at the
Contractor’s expense. In multi-layer construction, density shall be tested for each lift, and all lifts within a
rejected lot shall be removed and replaced. No payment shall be made for removed lifts. Replacement lifts
shall be paid in accordance with this section.
304-6.2.2 Thickness requirements. The completed thickness shall be as shown on the plans. When the
average lot thickness is not deficient by more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) from the plan thickness, full payment
shall be made. If the average lot thickness is deficient by more than one inch (25 mm), it shall be removed
and replaced at the Contractor’s expense. When such measurement is deficient by more than 1/2 inch (12
mm) but less than one inch (25 mm) from the plan thickness, one additional core shall be taken at random
from each sublot within the lot. The thickness of these additional cores shall be determined as indicated in
paragraph 304-6.1.2. A new average lot thickness shall be recomputed based on these additional cores and
the original cores taken from each sublot. If the recomputed average lot thickness is not deficient by more
than 1/2 inch (12 mm) from the plan thickness, full payment shall be made. If the average lot thickness is
deficient by more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) from the plan thickness, the entire lot shall be removed and
replaced at the Contractor’s expense or shall be permitted to remain in-place at an adjusted payment of
75% of the contract unit price.
When the measured thickness is more than that indicated on the plans, it will be considered as conforming
to the requirements, provided the surface of the completed CTB layer is within the established grade and
surface tolerance requirements.
304-6.2.3 Grade requirements. When the completed surface is higher than 1/2 inch (12 mm) above the
grade shown in the plans, the surface shall be trimmed, at the Contractor’s expense, with an approved
grinding machine to an elevation that falls within a tolerance of 1/4 inch (6 mm) or less.
