1) What does the fineness modulus mean? What does it tell you about the sand?

2) If you forgot to record the amount of time that a sand sample was in the oven, how could you tell if the sand was dry enough to perform the fineness modulus or the moisture content test?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Introduction to given :

The fineness modulus is a numerical measure of average particle size used in civil engineering to assess the coarseness or fineness of aggregates such as sand. It is normally useful to analyze how concrete mix design affects workability and coarseness.
