1. Sieve Analysis
Based On (IS : 2386 (Part 1) and IS : 2386 (Part 4)) The Sieve analysis test is nothing but the gradation test, in which gradation of particle (distribution of aggregates by size, within given sample) is find out. The Read More …
Grading Curve
Grading Curve The graphical representation of sieve analysis is also knows as Grade curve. 1. Readings recorded from sieve analysis is plotted in graph shown below (take particle size on X-axis and percent finer on Y-axis). This graph is also Read More …
6. Grading of aggregates
What is grading of aggregates?? Grading of aggregates is procedure to find out the particle size distribution of various aggregates. This method helps to determine the aggregates size and percentage used in construction works. Coarse aggregates are graded as, 80mm, Read More …
