Terms and Definitions
Aggregate.An inert filler material, such as crushed
stone, gravel, and sand which is mixed with cement and water to make concrete.
Coarse Aggregate.Generally aggregate larger than 1/2" in
diameter, referred to as stone or gravel.

Fine Aggregate
A natural silica or manufactured aggregate smaller than 1/4" in diameter, normally referred to as sand.
Sieve Analysis
A process in which an aggregate is separated into its various sizes by passing it through screens of various size openings for the purpose of determining the distribution of the quantities separated.
Gradation of an Aggregate
The relative amounts of aggregate particles of consecutively larger and smaller sizes.

Maximum Size of Aggregate
The smallest sieve opening through which the entire amount of the aggregate is required to pass.
Nominal Maximum Size of Aggregate
The smallest sieve opening through which the entire amount of the aggregate is permitted to pass.

Coarse Aggregate Gradation When tested during production the

When tested at the job site prior to use , the amount of material passing the No. 200 sieve shall not be greater than 1.5% by weight.

Coarse Aggregate Gradation If a stockpile at the job site is found to
contain in excess of 1.5% passing the No.200 sieve prior to use, the engineer may approve its use provided the total % by weight passing the the no 200 sieve in the combined coarse and fine aggregate does not exceed 2%, & no increase in W/C ratio is required by the use of this aggregate.

200 Sieve Washing Procedure
In a fine and coarse aggregate sieve analysis, the representative sample is washed over a No. 200 sieve.
The portion retained in the No. 200 sieve is dried and weighed.
The loss is then recorded in accordance with AASHTO T11.

Check the following sieve analysis of a sample of fine aggregate for use in concrete and determine if it meets NCDOT requirements for 2MS Sand. This sample was taken at the R/M plant. Circle the sieve not passing, if any. Total weight of the sample oven dry (before washing) = 532.4 grams (532.4-509.7)/ 532.4 x 100 = 4.3% Oven dry wt.(after washing No.200 sieve) = 509.7 grams
