Date Performed: 04/18/2021 Year and Section: BSCE 2B Date Submitted: 04 [20/202 EXPERIMENT NO. 1 FINENESS OF HYDRAULIC CEMENT CONCRETE BY SIEVE ANALYSIS METHOD OBJECTIVE To determine the fineness of cement by dry sieving as represented by the mass of residue left ona sieve. DISCUSSION: USING 76MM No..100 SIEVES, THIS TEST METHOD CERS DRY SIEVING TEcHWIAvES FOR DETERMINING ‘THE FINENESS OF HYPRAJLIC CEMENT AND RAW MATERIALS. THE SIEVE FRAME SEOVLD BE MADE OF A CIRCULAR METAL MAICHING THE SPECIFIED DIMENSIONS, BIQHER TINENESS OF CEMENT INCREACES THE RATE OF NYDRATION OF CEMENT. “TWAT IS, HE CHEMICAL REACTION BETWEEN THE WATER AND CEMENT. AS A RESULT, THERE (S AN IMPROVEMENT IN EARLY (NTEWSIIY AND FASTER HEAT GENERATON.
