Fineness Modulus of Fine Aggregate | Fineness Modulus of Coarse Aggregate | Sieve Analysis of Fine Aggregate | Sand Zone Classification

CivilJungle

Fineness Modulus of Fine Aggregate: The sand fineness module (fine aggregate) is an index number describing the mean size of sand particles. The accumulated percentage kept on each sieve is applied and the sum of the fine aggregate is subdivided by 100. So, we require all sizes of sieves in the coarse aggregate measurement.
