Question 1

Fine aggregates are retained on which size sieve?

  • 4.75 mm
  • 75-micron
  • 10 mm

💡 Hint: Remember the size that differentiates fine from coarse.

Question 2

True or False: Coarse aggregates are smaller than fine aggregates.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about their definitions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete mix design requires specific sizes of aggregates. If a batch contains 40% fine aggregates instead of the required 30%, how might this impact the concrete's final properties?

💡 Hint: Consider how the excess affects cohesion and overall strength.

Question 2

In a construction project, the engineer found that the coarse aggregates didn't meet specifications. What tests might they conduct to assess the suitability of these aggregates?

💡 Hint: Think about how you would verify if materials meet building standards.
