Culture Documents
This document shows all materials specifications, practices, and test methods that have been published as part of the AASHTO Standard
Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing from its first publication in 1931 through the most recent
edition.
The chart on the following pages shows each AASHTO standard, in numerical order. Information includes the standards original and current
titles, the year it was adopted, and its current status. Active AASHTO standards are shown with a white background; standards which are no
longer active are shown with a gray background. For standards that are no longer active, the chart also shows the date the standard was
discontinued, as well as the reason for its discontinuation, if known. If a substitute standardeither from AASHTO or another organizationhas
been identified to be used instead, its number is also provided. Finally, the Notes column contains any additional relevant information about the
publication history of the standard.
AASHTO Standards
AASHTO materials standards consist of a single letter indicating the standard type and a one- to three-digit number uniquely identifying the
standard. This is followed by second number indicating the date of most recent revision and, if applicable, review. These dates change frequently
and are not shown in this list.
Standard Types
Standard types are represented by a one-letter abbreviation for full standards. The letter P is added for provisional standards, which are
listed in a separate document. The standard type abbreviations are as follows:
M (Materials)
R (PRactice)
T (Test)
