2022-2-7 · Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size Nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) is a way of specifying the largest aggregate size in an aggregate. In the mix design procedure described in this manual, as in the Superpave system, NMAS is deï¬ ned as one sieve-size larger than the ï¬ rst sieve size to retain 10% or more of the total aggregate by mass.
Read MoreAggregate is usually described as either coarse aggregate (retained 4.75 mm) or fine aggregate (passing 4.75 mm). Aggregates generally make up about 95 percent of the total mass of hot-mix asphalt mixtures and 80 percent by mass of concrete - aggregate properties are, therefore, critical for quality hot-mix asphalt or concrete.
