     Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates ASTM-C 136 – 01
     Objective
     To determine the particle size distribution by sieve analysis
    o Apparatus
     Sieve shaker
     Set of sieves
     Balance
     Air dried aggregate
     Procedure
     Dry the sample to constant wt.(1005 oC)
     Obtain appropriate amount of aggregate
     Determine the total mass of the sample
     Select an appropriate of varying sieve size
     Weigh each sieve and pan. Make sure each sieve is clean before weighing it
     Carefully pour the sample and shake for 5 to 10minutes
     Remove the sieve from the sieve shaker. Weigh the sieve and pan with aggregate retained on them

    Sampling
    Fine aggregate
     The test sample of fine aggregate shall weigh , after drying approximately the following amount
    -Aggregate at least 95% passing a 2.36mm sieve =100g
    -Aggregate at least 85% passing a 4.75mm sieve & more than 5% retained on a 2.36mm sieve = 500g

    Coarse aggregate
    The weight of the test sample of coarse aggregate shall conform to the following
    Nominal maximum size.(mm) 9.5 12.5 19.0 25.0 37.5
    Minimum weight of test sample.Kg 1 2 5 10 15
