“EXPERIMENT NOG 7 = GIEVE ANALYSIS OF FINE AND coarse AGGREGATES (ASTM C186-88 Siew. Analysis: of Fine andl Coarse Aggregates ) OBJECTIVE To determine the groding of fine and coarse aggregates by seve analysis method DISCUSSION Sieve test is performed to evaluate grosting and te gain jntormation regarding the particle aze distibution of fine to coarse aggregates The aggregate gradation influences the workability Of concrete mixes because it affects the umter cement ad the paste aggregate ratio. Well-gradkd coarse aggregate will need tess quantities of fre aggregates and cement sce there would! be less surtace area th be enveloped by the cement pact. Likewise, well ~grerctec! fine aggregates. will enharce the workability andl the fining quality of concrete. The we of properly. graded aggregertes will produce a dense concrete. Therefore, the conto! of groding aggregates Tor use 1) Concrete. mixes ke Amportent 7p ensure the quality of concrete, Fineness modulus CFM.) 1s used ac an index to gine ideas about fineness and Coarseness Of aggregates.Apparatus AND MATERIALS Gord and Gravel ‘Sieres ~ complete cet for fine andl Conrst, aggegates BrisHe.
