Fineness Modulus of Concrete Aggregates

In an example, the standard states that, “For a fine aggregate having a fineness modulus of 28 and a 375 mm nominal maximum size of coarse aggregate, the table indicates that 071 m3 of coarse aggregate, on a dry-rodded basis, may be used in each cubic meter of concrete The required dry mass is, therefore, 071 x 1600 = 1136 kg”.

Why is sieve analysis used in civil engineering?

Jul 26, 2018· Sieve analysis is one of the important practices in civil engineering as it is used for finding particle size distribution of particular aggregate It is also used for finding the fineness modulus of aggregate Now what is the use of particle size.

Fineness Modulus

the coarse aggregate by an index number It is calculated by performing sieve analysis with standard siev The cumulative percentage retained on each sieve is added and subdivided by 100 gives the value of coarse aggregate Higher the aggregate size higher the Fineness modulus hence fineness modulus of coarse aggregate is higher than fine.

Gradation and Size

The particle size distribution, or gradation, of an aggregate is one of the most influential aggregate characteristics in determining how it will perform as a pavement material In HMA, gradation helps determine almost every important property including stiffness, stability, durability, permeability, workability, fatigue resistance, frictional resistance and moisture susceptibility (Roberts et.

Sieve Analysis of Aggregates

Sieve analysis helps to determine the particle size distribution of the coarse and fine aggregatThis is done by sieving the aggregates as per IS: 2386 (Part I) - 1963 In this we use different sieves as standardized by the IS code and then pass aggregates through them and thus collect different sized particles left over different siev.

Classification of Aggregates Based on Size

The size of the aggregate bigger than 475 mm is considered as the coarse aggregate ie basically, all other aggregates which are retained on 475mm IS sieve while sieve analysis is performed According to sources of coarse aggregates, it can be further classified as: (a) Uncrushed Gravel or Stone: It results from natural disintegration of rock.
