GRADATION OF AGGREGATES
I. Short discussion:

II. Resources:
 Gravel
 Sand
 Sieving instrument (fine aggregates)
 Sieving instrument (coarse aggregates)
 Vibrating stand
 Weighing scale
 Digital weighing scale

III. Procedure:
1. Prepare a sample of sand.
2. Weigh the sand on the digital weighing scale as the initial weight.
3. Arrange the sieve for fine aggregate according to its grading sizes.
4. Put the sand into the top sieve and place it on the vibrating stand until all of the sand is graded
5. Weigh the graded sand in each sieve as the final weight.
6. Compute the amount of graded sand and the percentage error between the initial weight of the sand and graded
sand.
7. Repeat the procedure for gravel using sieving instrument for coarse aggregate

IV. Data analysis:

FINE AGGREGATE: SAND
