Item Information

snippet:	Each record in this layer represents a single test result at a test site. There may be multiple test results at a single site. Each test’s results were interpreted based on our study’s strength and durability threshold criteria. For this study, the aggregate quality threshold requires a Los Angeles (LA) Abrasion test result of <30 percent and Washington Degradation test result of >30 percent, as specified in the 2023 standards for hot-mix asphalt (HMA). Testing results may be pass, incomplete pass, incomplete fail, partial fail, or fail depending on the results from these two tests. Test result data were sourced from Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Aggregate Source Approval (ASA) database. Test site location data were provided in GIS format directly by WSDOT and can be viewed on their ASA web mapping application. This layer also includes sites sampled by WGS and tested at a materials testing lab.

description:	<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This layer shows our interpretations of materials testing reports that were available at the time of analysis for each project area. Rock samples from test sites were analyzed at materials testing labs for strength and durability. The Los Angeles (LA) Abrasion and the Washington (WA) Degradation tests are two common methods that the aggregate industry uses to assess if an aggregate material will perform as needed for many aggregate products. For this study, the aggregate quality threshold requires a LA Abrasion test result of <30 percent and WA Degradation test result of >30 percent, as specified in the WSDOT standards for hot-mix asphalt. Testing results may be Pass, Incomplete Pass, Incomplete Fail, Partial Fail, or Fail depending on the results from these two tests. Sample material that breaks down too much during these tests result in a Fail or Partial Fail test result, while more durable material result in a Pass test result.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
