Draw a graph to show the cumulative percent passing through the sieve versus sieve size for well-graded, gap-graded, open-graded, and one-sized aggregates.What is the format name of this graph?
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)
