1. Three samples of aggregates are sieved to obtain the grading curve. A set of different sieves is stacked with the coarsest mesh at the top. The aggregate is then placed in the top sieve and the stack is placed in a sieve shaker. The raw data is as follows: Sieve size (mm) 19 9.5 4.75 2.36 1.18 0.6 0.3 0.15 Pan Mass of sieve (g) 670 620 620 570 570 520 520 520 490 For each sample: a. Plot the grading curve. b. Identify the type of gradation. c. Determine the fineness modulus. Mass of sieve + aggregates retained (g) Sample B Sample A 670 770 820 740 720 770 720 570 525 670 1820 620 570 570 670 720 620 544 - 12.15 kg - 27.15 kg - 34.60 kg - 25.16 kg Sample C 670 620 620 670 770 720 620 620 506 2. The rodded and loose bulk density of an aggregate sample is to be determined. The following are acquired during the experiment: • mass of the empty measure mass of measure + water mass of measure + rodded aggregates mass of measure + loose aggregates
