Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates Dsdasd: Name: Date Performed: Course/Year: Instructor

This document contains the results of a sieve analysis test performed on fine and coarse aggregates. The mass retained and passed through each sieve size is recorded, and the percent passing is calculated. A particle size distribution curve is presented. Sample calculations show how the percent passing, fineness modulus, and other values were determined from the sieving results.

Sample Computation:

1.) Calculating mass passed: Mass passed = Total Mass – Mass retained

• 1in. : 2009.76 g – 0 g = 2009.76 g • No.16 :702.28 g – 136.02 g = 566.26 g


• ¾ in. :2009.76 g – 157.35 g = 1852.41 g • No.30 :566.26 g – 175.18 g = 391.08 g
• ½ in. :1852.41 g – 491.7 g = 1360.71 g • No.50 :391.08 g – 179.2 g = 211.88 g
• 3/8 in. :1360.71 g – 243.72 g = 1116.99 g• No.100 :211.88 g – 122.16 g = 89.72 g
• No.4 :1116.99 g – 273.48 g = 843.51 g• No. 200 :89.72 g – 51.51 g = 38.21 g
• No.8 :843.51 g – 141.23 g = 702.28 g• Pan:38.21 g – 38.21 g = 0

2.) Calculating % Passing to the nearest 0.1 % if the initial dry weight of the sample.
% Passing = [Mass Passed / Total] x 100

• 1in. :(2009.76 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 100 %• No.16 :(566.26 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 28.18 %
• 3/4in. :(1852.41 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 92.17 % •No.30 :(391.08 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 19.46 %
• ½ in. :(1360.71 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 67.71 % • No.50 :(211.88 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 10.54 %
• 3/8 in. :(1116.99 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 55.58 % • No.100 :(89.72 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 4.46 %
• No.4 :(843.51 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 41.97 % • No.200 :(38.21 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 1.90 %
• No. 8 :(702.28 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 34.94 % • Pan :(0 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 0

3.) Calculating the fineness modulus (FM):

Fine aggregate:

FM = {∑ (Cumulative % Retained on #4, 8, 16, 30, 50, and 100 Sieves)} / 100
41.97+34.94+28.18+19.46+10.54+4.46
FM = ( ) = 5.0052
100

Course aggregate:

FM = {∑ (Cumulative % Retained on 1”, ¾”, 3/8”, Nos. 4, 8, 16, 30, 50, and 100 Sieves)} / 100
100+92.17+67.71+55.58+ 41.97+34.94+28.18+19.46+10.54+4.46
FM = ( ) = 5.5277
100
