-:Object
By this test we will be familiar with the sieve analysis
for aggregates (fine and course aggregates), to use it in the
.Appropriate mix of concrete
-:Preliminary Remarks
If we have a good aggregate grading we will have good
concrete mix with good compacting and with small ratio of
voids within the concrete which will increase the strength of
.concrete
-:Test apparatus
.Weighting device -1
sieves: we use different sizes of sieves in this -2
