Question
The grading of three aggregates is given below.
a) Calculate the percent passing for a combined aggregate which is a blend of 30% (by weight)
aggregate A, 45% aggregate B and 25% aggregate C.
b) Determine the fineness modulus of aggregate B.
c) How much percent of fine aggregate having fineness modulus of 3.00 should be mixed with
sample Aggregate B to decrease its fineness modulus to 4.50?
