Russian term or phrase: крупноструктурный материал
The context is:

Для покрытий пешеходных дорожек, тротуаров и пандусов не допускается применение насыпных или крупноструктурных материалов.

"Bulk material" is the best I can do at the moment. Any ideas?

non-uniform packing material (e.g. gravel)


Explanation:
Just a guess! Probably the sentence is "packed dirt and gravel are not allowed".

There are very few uses of the word as you found.

One example is in a discussion list:
"Нет это не единственные аргумент. Аргумент у меня *** крупноструктурная *** структура Вселенной, тоесть наличие в ней, в целом не однородности как пространства, так и во времени."

... which implies non-uniformity in the scientific sense.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think this is probably what is meant, but it's not what it literally says, so I'm going to play safe and go with Vadim's answer.
