Background of the Study Observe the infrastructure around us, look at the foundation of our house, subways,
(include substantial evidence/ justification streets of our cities, driveways, sidewalks, municipal building, schools, shopping
to conduct the study) centers, the highways, bridges, overpass, as well as power plants and dams, etc. If
we analyze all of these activities require the use of large volumes of natural
aggregate. According to Langer and Glanzman, (1993), about 82 metric tons
aggregate is requires in an average 6-room house, about 14,00 metric tons of
aggregate is needed in an average size of school, and nearly 50,00 metric tons of
aggregate is needed in one kilometer 0f 4 lane interstate highway.
Sand and gravel is one of the main sources of natural aggregate; crushed stone is the
other. It is the essential for supporting and maintaining economic development
activities. These materials are commonly used construction materials and are used
with a binding medium to form a concrete, mortar and asphalt and ballast. (Langer,
2003)
To have a better result of concretes and other materials, the sand should be
separated to gravel. Recent years the human had created screening method to
separate it manually. According to Sai karthik, Abhijeet Singh,etc.(2016), that in
(Add rows as needed) present scenarios it is very difficult to get laborers to work in construction industries
because of having difficulty on sieving manually.. In the same way many foundries
are going for fully automatic sieving machines. So, there is a further need for an
apparatus for separating these aggregate efficiently.
Our objective is to design a mechanical sieving of sand and gravel. According to
OLADEJI AKANNI OGUNWOLE (2012),that this process can increase the production
rate of cast products instead of the use of the manual traditional way of sand
throwing method through a mesh tray more over up to six different sand sizes can
be sample at a time depending on the arrangement of the trays.
