CHAPTER 2 SIEVE ANALYSIS AND FINENESS MODULUS Sampling
SIEVE ANALYSIS AND FINENESS MODULUS Sampling Since the reason for sampling aggregates is to determine the gradation (particle size) of the aggregate, it is necessary that they be sampled correctly. The results of testing will re" ect the condition and characteristics of the aggregate from which the sample is obtained. Therefore, when sampling, it is important to obtain a representative sample
