    Sieve Analysis Test PDF

    To achieve strong concrete, aggregates in the concrete mixture must have good workability and be properly graded by size. A sieve analysis test is used to determine the particle size distribution of an aggregate sample. The test involves nesting a set of sieves, placing the aggregate sample in the top sieve, mechanically shaking for 10 minutes, and then weighing the amount of sample remaining in each sieve to calculate the percentage retained. This provides information on the gradation and suitability of the aggregate for the concrete mixture.

    To achieve high level of strength for concrete, good workability of aggregates

    contained in the concrete mixture has to be graded. So that the size of aggregate
    1.Purpose contained within the concrete mix has the right proportion and achieves the fixed
    limit.

    Sieve set

    To determine the particle size distribution in a sample of aggregate which is called


    gradation.
    4.Objective

    1. Obtain a sample from plant or as otherwise directed and mix sample well.

    2. Nest the sieves with the finest sieve above the bottom pan and the coarsest
    sieve at the top.
    Mechanical Sieve Shaker
    3. Weigh and note the starting weight of each sieve. Place the sample in the top Sieve Analysis Test
    sieve of a stack of sieve.

    4. Shake the stack for 10 minutes at a preset speed.


    3.Procedure
    2.Apparatus
    5. When shaking is complete, take each sieve one at a time and weigh this
    segment of sample.

    6. Record the weight and calculate the percent of sample remaining in each sieve.

    7. Repeat the same procedure for the different material i.e. sand/aggregate.
