Discussion

Sieve Analysis is categorized type of

mechanical analysis which determine the size
range of particles present in fine aggregates
and coarse aggregates .Sieve analysis consist
of shaking the fine aggregates and course
aggregates sample passing through the set of
sieve that have progressively small
opening .The result of this experiment is
determined by the percentage of cumulative
passing of fine aggregates and course
aggregates .
First of all , one of the data that we had
obtained from the result is the total amount
retained of fine aggregates and course
aggregates after the experiment are not the
same as the total amount that we weighted
before the process of sieve analysis begin .
This is because of environment effect and
resulting the total amount retained decrease.
The small particle of fine aggregates and
course aggregates is missing during the sieves
were being vibrating . Last but not least, the
wind blow out the dust of the fine and course
aggregates during the experiment was goingv
on . Secondly, this is probably because the fine
and course aggregates were trapped in the
small opening sieves. Sometimes, it cant be
removed from the sieves when we were doing
the weighting for contain in every each sieves
at the end of the experiment.
