A 500g sample of sand from source A has the following amounts retained on each sieve. Calculate the fineness modulus of the sand. Does the fineness modulus completely describe the properties of a fine aggregate?
4.75mm =15g, 2.36mm = 60g, 1.18mm = 100g, 600 µm =105, 300 µm =130g, 150µm=90g

5. A sample of aggregate has a moisture content of 10 percent. Its absorption capacity is 4 percent. What is the weight of free water in a 100-1b sample of this aggregate? How is fineness modulus measured and what does it represent The specific gravity and bulk density of an aggregate are 2.6 and 95 pcf respectively. Find the loose (bulk) volume of a 190-lb sample. A sample of fine aggregate with a specific gravity of 2.6 has a bulk...
