Gradation of Coarse Aggregate by Sieve Analysis

The graded coarse aggregate is defined by its nominal size i.e., 40 mm, 20 mm, 16 mm, 12.5 mm, etc. For example, a graded aggregate of nominal size 12.5 mm means an aggregate most of which passes the 12.5 mm IS Sieve. Because the aggregates are formed due to natural disintegration of rocks or by the artificial crushing of rock or gravel, …

T 27 T 11

A sieve analysis, or 'gradation,' measures distribution of aggregate particle sizes within a given sample. Accurate determination of the amount of material smaller than 75 μm (No. 200) cannot be made using just AASHTO T 27. If quantifying this material is required, use AASHTO T 11 in conjunction with AASHTO T 27.
