OPSS aggregates

Of the standard granular materials in the standard OPSS.MUNI 1010 only Granular O is recommended as a substitute for clear stone. {Textbox|1= Where Granular O is substituted the void ratio used in design calculations shall be 0.3}

Void ratios were calculated based on the coefficient of uniformity (C_U): $V_{R}=0.255\left(1+0.83^{C_{U}}\right)$ Where coefficient of uniformity is the ratio of the 60th and 10th percentile grain sizes: $C_{U}={\frac {d_{60}}{d_{10}}}$

Permeability (K) was estimated from the 10th percentile grain size using the Hazen formula.

Gravel, or crushed stone of various size gradations (i.e., diameter), used in construction; void forming material used as bedding and runoff storage reservoirs and underdrains in stormwater infiltration practices.

The void ratio (e) of a mixture is the ratio of the volume of void-space to the volume of solids. It is closely related to the concept of porosity (n) where porosity is the ratio of the volume of void-space to the total or bulk volume of the mixture. e = Volume of voids/Volume of solids = n/(1-n)

A broad category of particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates, and available in various particulate size gradations.

A parameter that describes the capability of a medium to transmit water.

The porosity (n) of a mixture is the ratio of the volume of void-space to the total or bulk volume of the mixture. It is closely related to the concept of void ratio (e) where void ratio is the ratio of the volume of void-space to the volume of solids. n = Volume of voids/Total volume of mixture = e/(1+e)
