Aggregate is defined as a complete amount. An example of an aggregate would be the total number of students in all of one grade level. Aggregate means to combine or mix together. An example of aggregate is to mix ingredients for concrete together.
By this definition the nominal maximum aggregate size for the material example above is also 1/2. However, if there were only 91% passing the 3/8 the nominal maximum aggregate size for that material would be 3/8, not 1/2.or instance, nominal maximum aggregate size is usually a way to define the size of a mix when you're referring to it. So when you're saying 1/2 HMA people generally know what that means. Where you might see a problem is in drawing the maximum density line to help with designing a mix's gradation.
