Discuss the process of "Reducing field samples of aggregates to testing size".
A sieve analysis test was performed on a sample of coarse aggregate and produced the following results:a.) Calculate the percent passing through each sieve.b.) What is the maximum size?c.) What is the nominal maximum size?
What are the main purposes of Sieve Analysis of aggregates? Discuss FIneness Modulus What are the differences between coarse aggregates coming from processing plants and coarse aggregates obtained under water in rivers? What is Gradation? What is Effective size?
Void Content—Calculate the void content in the aggregate using the bulk densitydetermined by either the rodding, jigging or shoveling procedure, as follows:
TEST PROCEDURE: 1. Dry the aggregate test sample to a constant weight at a temperature of 110 ± 5°C, then cool to room temperature. 2. Select suitable sieve sizes to furnish the information required by the specifications covering the material to be tested. Common sieves in millimeters are 37.5, 25, 19, 12.5, 9.5, 4.75, 2.36, 1.18, 0.6, 0.3, 0.15, and 0.075 mm (11 2 in., 1 in., 3 4 in., 1 2 in., 3 8 in., No. 4, No. 8, No. 16, No. 30, No. 50, No. 100, and No. 200). 3. Nest the sieves in order of decreasing size of opening, and place the aggregate sample on the top sieve. 4. Agitate the sieves by hand or by mechanical apparatus for a sufficient period. The criterion for sieving time is that, after completion, not more than 1% of the residue on any individual sieve will pass that sieve during 1 minute of continuous hand sieving. 5. Determine the weight of each size increment. 6. The total weight of the material after sieving should be compared with the original weight of the sample placed…

Determine the suitability of the aggregate, with the gradation tabulated below, for use in Portland cement concrete. Review the grain size distribution to determine if it meets all of the relevant specifications for use in concrete (i.e. gradation limits, fineness modulus and % fines).
