Question
- A sieve analysis test was performed on a sample of fine aggregate and produced the results in Table below.
- Calculate the percent passing through each sieve.
- What is the maximum size?
- What is the nominal maximum size?
- What is the Fineness Modulus?
- Plot the percent passing versus sieve size on a semi-log gradation size. (You can use Excel sheets or you can draw on a semi-log attached to page 3 of this assignment)
