UFS 3-250-03 16 January 2026 UNIFIED FACILITIES SUPPLEMENT (UFS) APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE; DISTRIBUTION UNLIMITED STANDARD PRACTICE FOR FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS UFS 3-250-03 16 January 2026 FOREWORD Unified Facilities Supplements (UFS) provide non-mandatory, supplemental information in support of Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). Only UFC establish enforceable criteria. UFS are For Information Only (FIO) and exist to help users understand and apply UFC requirements. The purpose of UFS is to offer procedural guidance, best practices, lessons learned, examples, and explanatory materials that clarify how to meet UFC criteria. They may include step-by-step procedures, checklists, illustrations, or decision aids, but they do not create new requirements or modify UFC content. UFS are developed by
the desired gradation. Two or three trials are usually sufficient to produce a combined mixture having a gradation equal to the job mix formula. This step is not needed when a drum mix plant is used since the aggregate is not rescreened in the plant.

The quantity of asphalt binder required for an aggregate is important to ensure performance. Procedures are described in paragraph 2-4.2.5. Normally, to start the laboratory tests, an estimate is made of the optimum amount of asphalt binder based on total weight of mix. Laboratory tests usually are conducted for a mi
apid (RC) to medium (MC) to slow (SC) cure is used for asphalt stabilization. The use of emulsions versus cutbacks is dependent on the availability of materials, soil type, climate, and construction practice. The availability of cutbacks is limited in areas due to environmental concerns. 5-3 COMPOSITION AND MIXTURE. For stabilized materials, the type of asphalt used is as important as how much is used. UFS 3-250-11 contains information on the type and amount of liquid asphalt to use. Design procedures for determining optimum asphalt content are given for both cutback and emulsified asphalts. 5-4 CONSTRUCTION. Methods and procedures for constructing asphalt-stabilized materials are given in UFS 3-250-11. UFS 3-250-03 16 January 2026 96 5-5 DRAINAGE LAYERS. Guidance for the design and constr

ll studs is one hardening technique. Another improvement method is using 3 in (760-mm) deck screws to fasten the striker plate and hinge plates. These longer screws can be used to penetrate into the adjoining wall studs by at least one inch and thereby possibly limiting excessive movement of the strike plate when forced. Using metal plates or hardwood helps strengthen the door jamb. If there are air gaps between the door jamb and the adjoining wall stud, the addition of shims will strengthen the door frame system. Longer-throw door bolts [1 in (250 mm)] are better than standard shorter-throw door bolts [½ in (125-mm)]. UFS 4-010-03 3 February 2026 52 FIGURE 7-2.
