Generate the gradation curve for the aggregate sample. Plot the sieve opening using a log scale along the $x-$axis and the percent passing using an arithmetic scale along the $y-$axis.

i$.$ Determine if the sample satisfied the ASTM C$136$ limit that no sieve should retain more than $7k\frac{g}{m^2}$ of material.

ii$.$ Determine if the sample satisfies the gradation limits in ASTM C$33$ for fine aggregate used in concrete.

iii. Determine if the sample satisfies the ASTM C$33$ limit that not more than $45\%$ of the sample may pass any sieve and be retained on the next sieve.
