sieve analysis of aggregate

Question

Accepted Answer

Sieve analysis is a method used to determine the particle size distribution of aggregates.

Sieve analysis involves passing a sample of aggregate through a series of sieves with progressively smaller openings.
The amount of material retained on each sieve is weighed and compared to the total sample weight to determine the percentage passing through each sieve.
The results of sieve analysis are used to classify aggregates for use in construction projects.
Sieve analysis helps ensure that aggregates meet specifications for particle size distribution.
Common sieves used in sieve analysis include ASTM and ISO standard sieves.
Sieve analysis is important for determining the quality of aggregates used in concrete, asphalt, and other construction materials.
