AASHTO has released the first 2 of 3 scheduled updates to the 2017 edition of the Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing, and AASHTO Provisional Standards.
The first update (released mid-April), included 4 new and 24 revised standards, and updates the sections on Hydraulic Cement and Lime, Fresh Concrete, Hardened Concrete, Pavement Measurement, Bridge and Pavement Preservation, and Quality Assurance and Environmental.
The second (released mid-June) covers the section on General Manufactured Materials, including Concrete Drainage Structures, Flexible and Metallic Pipe, Markings and Coatings, and Safety Devices and includes 8 new, and 26 revised standards.
Did you know that the VDOT Library provides VDOT employees with access to these and other AASHTO standards along with plenty of other great AASHTO content through the ASTM Compass subscription database? Check out this recent Connections post to learn more.
