Equipment ( fine aggregate )

1) Electronic balance 3) Standard Sieve

2) Sieve Shaker

Material (fine aggregate )

1) 3 kg of fine aggregate

1) Electronic Balance .

An electronic balance is a device used to find accurate measurements of weight of fine aggregate.

2) Standard Sieve

Sieve, or sifter, is used to characterizing the particle size of fine aggregate.

3) Sieve Shaker

to expose fine aggregate in sieve in a manner that will expedite the passing of particles smaller then the openings.

Equipment ( coarse aggregate )

1) Elecronic Balance2) Standard Sieve

4) Sieve Shaker

Material ( coarese aggregate )

1) 10 kg sample of coarse aggregate

1) Electronic Balance

An electronic balance is a device used to find accurate measurements of weight of course aggregate.

2) Standard Sieve

Sieve, or sifter, is used to characterizing the particle size of coarse aggregate.

3) Sieve Shaker

to expose coarse aggregate in sieve in a manner that will expedite the passing of particles smaller then the openings.

Conclusion ( fine aggregate )

The objective to determine the size distribution of fine aggregate by sieve analysis is achieved. Depend on size of sieve and percantage passing, then we can plot the graph to know the grade of fine aggregate. Therefore, the fine aggregate in the experiment can be considered as well graded.

The aggregates particles should retain their strength, shape, and texture when usedwith materials. The combination of fine and course aggregates of proper or acceptable shape will have effect on the workability to meet the quality that needed.
