Cumulative mass retained= 80+125 = 205 gm

Then cumulative retained = 205/700 = 0.29% = 0.29× 100

= 29
F.M. = Σ cumulative residue percentage / 100 = 285.83 /100 = 2.9

B/ Yes, the result within the specification, because the result between (2.6-3.1)

1. Ordinary Portland cement

2. Portland pozzolana cement
3. Rapid hardening Portland cement
4. Extra rapid hardening cement
5. Portland slag cement
6. Hydrophobic Portland cement
7. Low heat Portland cement
8. Sulphate resisting Portland cement
9. Quick setting Cement
10. High alumina cement,
11. Supersulphated cement
12. Masonry cement

Ordinary Portland Cement is the best for housing because This cement is also called basic Portland
cement and is best suited for use in general concrete

B/ Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most
of the remainder. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone
making up most of the remainder.
Natural gravel and sand are usually dug or dredged from a pit, river, lake, or seabed. Crushed aggregate is
produced by crushing quarry rock, boulders, cobbles, or large-size gravel.
