Lesson 1 (Activity)

This document contains the results of sieve analyses performed on samples of coarse and fine aggregates. For the coarse aggregate sample weighing 15530g with a maximum size of 1", testing found it to be within specification limits for percent retained on each sieve. Its fineness modulus was calculated to be 8.53. Similarly, the fine aggregate sample of 453g with a maximum size of No. 4 sieve was found to meet specifications with a fineness modulus of 4.73. Both aggregate samples passed gradation testing according to ASTM C136/AASHTO T27 standards.
