Most [[OPSS aggregates]] are not recommended for use in permeable paving systems. The exception being type 'o' with a default void ratio of 0.3.
All aggregates should meet the following criteria:
* Porosity of 0.4
* Maximum wash loss of 0.5%
* Minimum durability index of 35
* Maximum abrasion of 10% for 100 revolutions and maximum 50% for 500 revolutions
Most [[OPSS aggregates]] are not recommended for use in permeable pavements, with the exception of 'Granular O' type.
'''<u>Granular Subbase</u>'''
Should be clear, crushed 50 mm diameter stone, graded in accordance with ASTM D2940.
<u>'Rain ballast' aggregate (63 mm) would also be suitable</u>
'''<u>Granular Base</u>'''
Should be clear, crushed 20 mm diameter stone conforming to ASTM C33 No 57
'''<u>Bedding</u>'''
Should be clear, crushed 5 mm diameter stone, graded in accordance with ASTM C33 No 8, High Performance Bedding (1-9 mm diameter), or equivalent. Typical bedding thickness is between 40 mm and 75 mm.
