Sample Computation:

1.) Calculating mass passed: Mass passed = Total Mass Mass retained

1in. : 2009.76 g 0 g = 2009.76 g No.16 : 702.28 g 136.02 g = 566.26 g

in. : 2009.76 g 157.35 g = 1852.41 g No.30 : 566.26 g 175.18 g = 391.08 g
in. : 1852.41 g 491.7 g = 1360.71 g No.50 : 391.08 g 179.2 g = 211.88 g
3/8 in. : 1360.71 g 243.72 g = 1116.99 g No.100 : 211.88 g 122.16 g = 89.72 g
No.4 : 1116.99 g 273.48 g = 843.51 g No. 200 : 89.72 g 51.51 g = 38.21 g
No.8 : 843.51 g 141.23 g = 702.28 g Pan: 38.21 g 38.21 g = 0

2.) Calculating % Passing to the nearest 0.1 % if the initial dry weight of the sample.
% Passing = [Mass Passed / Total] x 100

1in. : (2009.76 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 100 % No.16 : (566.26 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 28.18 %
3/4in. : (1852.41 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 92.17 % No.30 : (391.08 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 19.46 %
in. : (1360.71 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 67.71 % No.50 : (211.88 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 10.54 %
3/8 in. : (1116.99 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 55.58 % No.100 : (89.72 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 4.46 %
No.4 : (843.51 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 41.97 % No.200 : (38.21 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 1.90 %
No. 8 : (702.28 g / 2009.76 g) x 100= 34.94 % Pan : (0 g / 2009.76g) x 100= 0

3.) Calculating the fineness modulus (FM):

Fine aggregate:

FM = { (Cumulative % Retained on #4, 8, 16, 30, 50, and 100 Sieves)} / 100
41.97+34.94+28.18+19.46+10.54+4.46
FM = ( ) = 1.3955
100

Course aggregate:

FM = { (Cumulative % Retained on 1, , 3/8, Nos. 4, 8, 16, 30, 50, and 100 Sieves)} / 100
100+92.17+67.71+55.58+ 41.97+34.94+28.18+19.46+10.54+4.46
FM = ( ) = 4.0501
