 Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates ASTM-C 136 – 01
 Objective
 To determine the particle size distribution by sieve analysis
o Apparatus
 Sieve shaker
 Set of sieves
 Balance
 Air dried aggregate
 Procedure
 Dry the sample to constant wt.(1005 oC)
 Obtain appropriate amount of aggregate
 Determine the total mass of the sample
 Select an appropriate of varying sieve size
 Weigh each sieve and pan. Make sure each sieve is clean before weighing it
 Carefully pour the sample and shake for 5 to 10minutes
 Remove the sieve from the sieve shaker. Weigh the sieve and pan with aggregate retained on them

Sampling
Fine aggregate
 The test sample of fine aggregate shall weigh , after drying approximately the following amount
-Aggregate at least 95% passing a 2.36mm sieve =100g
-Aggregate at least 85% passing a 4.75mm sieve & more than 5% retained on a 2.36mm sieve = 500g

Coarse aggregate
The weight of the test sample of coarse aggregate shall conform to the following
Nominal maximum size.(mm) 9.5 12.5 19.0 25.0 37.5
Minimum weight of test sample.Kg 1 2 5 10 15
