TITLE
PREAMBLE
1.2 Objective
The objective of the test is:
1) To determine the fineness modulus of given samples of aggregate
by the method of sieve analysis.
2) To determine the grading of the aggregate i.e the particle
distribution.
.
1.3 Learning Outcomes
At the end of the laboratory activity, students would be able to:
1. Find out the fineness of modulus and the particle size distribution of
given sample.
2. Analyze data correctly and present in typical format.
3. Work in a group to produce technical report.
