The following data is obtained from sieve analysis of a fine aggregate sample. Complete the table, calculate fineness modulus and comment on the value. Draw the gradation curve (% Passing vs. Sieve size in mm) on a semi-log chart and comment if the sand conforms to [30] ASTM C33 specification for cement concrete (showing upper and lower limits)? Sieve opening (mm) Cumulative % retained Sieve Material retained % Material % Passing No. (gm) retained #4 4.75 # 8 2.36 54.5 #16 1.18 95.6 #30 0.6 141.8 #50 0.3 120.6 #100 0.15 64.3 #200 0.075 17.3 Pan 5.9 Total
