Seive-shaker-to-estimate-Fineness-Modulus-of-Sand

The fineness modulus of a fine aggregate is defined as an index number that indicates the average or mean size of the sand particles. It is determined by carrying out the sieve analysis test using standard IS sieves. The fineness modulus is an estimate of the amount of aggregate required to proportion mix designs; it … Read more
