Coarse aggregate and fine aggregate was procured from our local supplier. A Sieve analysis of the
recently delivered coarse aggregate was conducted. The measurements are summarized below.
Required:
Calculate percentages passing, total percentages retained in each sieve size to the nearest on the
basis of the total mass of the initial sample.
Plot the percent passing versus the sieve size on a semilog graph.
For the coarse aggregate, determine the size number ie ## that the aggregate best
corresponds to see ASTM C Plot the percentage passing versus the grading limits for the
aggregate size identified.
For the fine aggregate, determine if the gradation meets the requirements of ASTM C for fine
aggregate.
For the fine aggregate, determine the fineness modulus of the material.
