Question: A washed sieve analysis was conducted on a blended aggregate sample. The original sample of 1 5 0 0 . 0 grams was washed over

A washed sieve analysis was conducted on a blended aggregate sample. The original sample of 1500.0 grams was washed over a No.200 sieve. The material retained on the No.200 after the wash was dried to a constant mass of 1414.2 grams. The retained materials were then sieved over the standard nest of sieves indicated in the table below. Determine the gradation of the test sample in terms of Cumulative %Passing. Then determine the MCAS, NMAS and Fineness Modulus of the test sample. (15 points)

A pipe is to be installed underground on a bed of aggregate 8 in. thick. The entire weight on the aggregate from the pipe and soil above the pipe is 1750 lbs ./lineal ft . of pipe. What is the pressure on the soil if =42?(15 points)
A ready-mix producer is contacted by a customer needing a PCC mix having a design compressive strength of f'=5ksi. The ready-mix producer has compressive strength data for a similar mix collected over a period of 6 months; however, the data is also limited (n=22 tests). What f' cr should the ready-mix producer target for design if the mixture standard deviation is 302 psi? (10 points)
