Sieve analysis of fine and coarse aggregates lab report

To determine the particle size distribution of fine and coarse aggregates by sieving as per IS: 2386 (Part I) – 1963. PRINCIPLE By passing the sample downward through a series of standard sieves, each of decreasing size openings, the aggregates are separated into several groups, each of which
contains aggregates in a particular size range. APPARATUS A SET OF IS SIEVES i) A set of IS Sieves of sizes – 80mm, 63mm, 50mm, 40mm, 31.5mm, 25mm, 20mm, 16mm, 12.5mm, 10mm, 6.3mm, 4.75mm, 3.35mm, 2.36mm, 1.18mm, 600μm, 300μm, 150μm and 75μm ii) Balance or scale with an
accuracy to measure 0.1 SAMPLE The weight of sample available should not be less than the weight given below:- The sample for sieving should be prepared from the larger sample either by quartering or by means of a sample divider. PROCEDURE: i) The test sample is dried to a constant weight at a
temperature of 110 + or – 5 oC and weighed. ii) The sample is sieved by using a set of IS Sieves. iii) On completion of sieving, the material on each sieve is weighed. iv) Cumulative weight passing through each sieve is calculated as a percentage of the total sample weight. v) Fineness modulus is
obtained by adding cumulative percentage of aggregates retained on each sieve and dividing the sum by 100. RESULTS: The results should be calculated and reported as: i) the cumulative percentage by weight of the total sample ii) the percentage by weight of the total sample passing through one
sieve and retained on the next smaller sieve, to the nearest 0.1 percent. The results of the sieve analysis may be recorded graphically on a semi-log graph with particle size as abscissa (log scale) and the percentage smaller than the specified diameter as ordinate. A sample chart is provided below

aggregates. One of the physical properties of aggregate that influence the property of concrete is the grading of aggregate. The grading of aggregate defines the proportions of particles of different size in the aggregate. The grading of fine (size < 5 mm) and coarse (size > 5 mm) aggregates are generally
required to be within the limits specified in BS 882: 1992. OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to obtain the grading curve for both fine and coarse aggregate. APPARATUS 1. Balance - balance or scale used in testing fine and coarse…show more content…4. The sample was placed on the top
sieve and the sieves was agitated by mechanical sieve shaker for a sufficient period so that after completion, not more than one percent by weight of the residue on any individual sieve will pass that sieve. 5. The weight of each size increment was determined by weighing the residue contained on each
sieve. This has be done in a cumulative fashion by starting with the smallest, particles in the bottom pan. After this weight has been determined, the next larger particles was added into the same pan and the cumulative weight was determined. Coarse Aggregate 1. A representative sample was chosen by
quartering (according to BS 812: Part 102: 1984) or by use of a sample splitter (Fig. 2C1-3). The sample to be tested should be the approximate weight desired when dry. For this experiment, about 3 kilograms of coarse aggregate was weighed. 2. The procedure no. 2 to 5 was repeated as stated for fine
aggregate using appropriate sieve size. DATA AND ANALYSIS A. Fine aggregate sample weight : 500g BS sievesize | Weightof seive(gm) | Weight of Sieve + Sample (gm) | Retained Weight(gm) | Passed Weight(gm) | Retained Percentage(%) | Passed Percentage(%) | 5mm | 760 | 770 | 10 | 490 | 2 | 98

aggregates by sieving. This test method is used to determine the grading of materials proposed for use as aggregates or being used as aggregates. Sieve Analysis Accurate determination of materials finner than 75 micron (Sieve No 200) can not be achieved by this test Related Theory: Fineness
Modulus It is the cumulative percentage retained on standard sieve 150μm or sieves No 100 and above divided by 100. It is a single factor or an empirical number which we get from the results of sieve analysis. The value of FM will not change if we add non standard sieves in standard set of sieves. The
information obtained from fineness modulus is helpful in the following ways; Sieve Analysis 1- Fineness modulus tells us directly whether the material is well-graded or gap-graded. 2- Fineness modulus gives us an overall idea whether the material is fine or coarse. Higher the value of FM ,coarser
will be the aggregate. Sieve Analysis 3- It also indicates the surface area of the particles. Lower the surface area of the aggregate, the required amount of fresh cement paste to cover the aggregate particles will be less and thus less water is required. 4- Larger value of FM is preferred for fine
aggregates. For a good fine aggregate, the FM should be between 2.3 and 3.1 (ASTM Range for fine aggregates). 5- A FM of 4 can be interpreted to means that the fourth sieve from bottom i.e. sieve No. 16 is the average size of the aggregate particles in the given sample. Sieve Analysis Sieve
analysis of fine aggregates is one of the most important tests performed on-site. Aggregates are inert materials that are mixed with binding materials such as cement or lime for the manufacturing of mortar or concrete. It is also used as fillers in mortar and concrete. Aggregates size varies from several
inches to the size of the smallest grain of sand. The Aggregates(fine + coarse) generally occupy 60% to 75% of the concrete volume or 70% to 85% by mass and strongly influence the concrete’s freshly mixed and hardened properties, mixture proportions, and economy. All Aggregates pass IS 4.75 mm
sieve is classified as fine Aggregates. All aggregate technicians use the sieve analysis (gradation test) to determines the gradation (the particle size distribution, by size, within a given sample) in order to determine compliance with design, production control requirements, and verification specifications.
Used in conjunction with other tests, the sieve analysis is very good to control and quality acceptance tool. Gradation meaning the distribution of particle sizes within the total range of size. Gradation can be identified on a graph as well-graded, uniform, or gap graded (sometimes called skip graded) which
are described below : Well graded means sizes within the entire range are in approximately equal amounts, although there will be a very small amount of the largest and smallest particles. Uniform gradation means that a large percentage of the particles are of the same size. Gap graded or skip graded
means that most of the particles are large in size or small in size with very few particles of an intermediate size. Objectives: The whole procedure of sieve analysis is to determine the particle size distribution of the fine aggregates and determine whether it is suitable to use in concrete mixing. Test

Mechanical Sieve Shaker 1000 grams of fine aggregates Fig. Sand Sample Experimental Procedure for Sieve Analysis Weighed the sample to exactly 1000g. First of all, we have to clean all the sieves using a wire brush to be clear of aggregates stuck in some gaps. Then we have to prepare the sieves
onto the shaking machine from top to bottom, by the size from biggest (4,75mm) to smallest (0.075mm). The sample is sieved by using the set of IS Sieves for 10 minutes. After the sieving is done, the aggregates on each sieve are weighed individually. Cumulative weight passing through each sieve is
calculated as a percentage of the total sample weight. The same procedure is followed for two more samples. The formula for calculating the percentage retained and percentage passing: TABLE: DETERMINATION OF PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF FINE AGGREGATES The percentage passing
weight so obtained shall than be compared with the permissible values given in the IS 383. The standard table in IS code shows the permissible values of percentage passing for different grading zones i.e., Zone I, Zone II, Zone III, and Zone IV. The zone of the sand thus is determined by comparing the
observed percentage passing values with the permissible values given in the IS 383. Data and Calculation for a random sample Determination of Particle Size Distribution of Fine Aggregates: Total Weight of Fine Aggregates = 1000g RESULT : In this case, in comparison with Table 4 IS:383, it can be
concluded that the Fine Aggregate corresponds to Grading Zone II. RECOMMENDATION When doing this experiment, It is suggested to clean first the sieve that we are going to use with a brush to remove excess and unnecessary things inside that may affect our result, because samples will get stocked
if we don’t clean it that will lessen our accuracy. Do the task accurately but make sure to be in order, do not put more aggregates because it may get hard for it to sink and get into the pan and also it is heavy that it might fall. Sieve the aggregates carefully so that we may get a better and accepted sieve
analysis result and the graph will show how accurate we are, as well the graph will show how good the sample aggregates we’ve used that it is better to be used in different constructions.
