Sieve analysis test for fine aggregates was performed on a sample of fine aggregates and produced the following results: a. Calculate the percent passing through each sieve. b. Plot the percent finer in a semi-log gradation chart. c. What is the maximum aggregate size of the sample? d. What is the nominal maximum aggregate size of the sample? e. What is the fineness modulus? Is it in typical range?
