The coarsest gradation is very similar to the gradation that is being used by many states reporting good experience at the time with OGFC mixes.

... 102 Again, both polymer-modified binder and fiber should be most effective especially in cold climates with freeze/thaw cycles. To provide a clear understanding of the methods used by the authors, the following paragraphs describe the various tests utilized in the research.

... 103 aged specimens should not exceed 30 percent, while no individual result should exceed 50 percent. Raveling of the OGFC may take place due to stripping in the mix, especially from freeze and thaw cycles in northern tier states with cold climates.

... 104 Selection of the design gradation entails blending selected aggregate stockpiles to produce three trial blends. It was suggested that the three trial gradations fall along the coarse and fine limits of the gradation range along with one falling in the middle.
