Fineness of Aggregate

The document reports the results of a sieve analysis test conducted on a construction aggregate sample. It shows the weight retained and cumulative weight retained on various sieve sizes, along with the corresponding cumulative percentage weights retained and passing. Based on the results, the fineness modulus of the sample was calculated to be 3.140. A second sieve analysis was conducted on a coarse aggregate sample, with a calculated fineness modulus of 0.781. Fineness modulus is a measure of the uniformity of particle sizes in an aggregate sample.
