6.4 Design Binder Application Rate (Bd)
The design binder application rate, Bd, is determined by Equation 8:
| Bd = Bbm + allowances (L/m2) | 8 | |||
| where | ||||
| Bbm | = | modified basic binder application rate (rounded to the nearest 0.01 L/m2) | ||
| Allowances | = | any applicable allowances as per Section 6.2.2 |
For example: Bbm = 0.97 L/m2
Surface texture allowance = +0.3 L/m2
Embedment allowance = –0.1 L/m2
Bd = 0.97 + 0.3 – 0.1= 1.17 = 1.2 L/m2 (rounded to nearest 0.1 L/m2).
