modulus of a f ine aggregate sample and to plot a gradation curve for the sample. The scope of the experiment was limited to one aggregate sample only. In determining the SSD and oven-dry weights needed for calculation of specific gravities‚ a conical mold was used to reach an SSD condition and the sample was later dried in an oven. Sieve analysis determined the particle size distribution by sifting the aggregate through a series of eight sieves of different sixes by use of a mechanical shaker. The
