Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is the Fineness Modulus?

💡 Hint: Think about how it relates to the size of aggregates.

Question 2

Easy

Calculate FM if 40% is retained on the first sieve and 25% on the second.

💡 Hint: Add the percentages before dividing.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You perform a sieve analysis, finding that 30%, 20%, and 25% of aggregate are retained on different sieves. How would you calculate FM and what could be the implication of that FM for concrete workability?

💡 Hint: Sum all retained percentages carefully.

Question 2

If the requirements for a high-strength concrete mix set the FM limit at 2.5, but your selection yields an FM of 3.2. What adjustments could you consider?

💡 Hint: Focus on sourcing aggregates with finer qualities.
