Compacting factor test is a more precise and more accurate test for determining the workability of concrete. This is test is widely used in the construction fields and laboratories. The ratio of the weight of partially compacted concrete to the fully compacted concrete is called compacting factor also called a compaction factor. The maximum value … Read more
Scope The scope of sieve analysis is to get or provide information about the particles size distribution of coarse aggregates. Coarse Aggregates Coarse aggregates are those aggregates that are retained on a 4.75mm sieve when they are sieved through 4.75mm. Standard ASTM C136-05 Significance The process of dividing aggregates in the fraction of the same … Read more
