A sieve analysis test was performed on a sample of coarse aggregate used in a concrete mix design and the resulting mass retained per sieve is shown in the table below. Sieve Size 3 in. 2 in. 1.5 in. 1 in. ¾ in. ½ in. 3/8 in. No. 4 Pan Amount Retained (lb) 0 2.2 3.7 15.9 12.0 13.5 26.7 10.1 1.3 a) What is the "maximum" size of the aggregate? b) What is the "nominal maximum" size of the aggregate? c) Complete the table below and plot the Grain Size Distribution curve on a semi-log scale. (either use the plot provided on the next page, or recreate your on using excel)
