FINENESS MODULUS OF AGGREGATE – WHAT, WHY

Fineness modulus is generally used to get an idea of how coarse or fine the aggregate is. More fineness modulus value indicates that the aggregate is coarser and small value of fineness modulus indicates that the aggregate is finer. Fineness modulus of different type of sand is as per given below. Type of Sand. Fineness Modulus Range. …Web

Alternative fine aggregates in production of sustainable concrete

The variation is also due to the production process i.e. the fineness modulus of the aggregates produced by impact crusher, which have a higher modulus than produced from a cone crusher (Chow et al., 2013). The fineness modulus of different types of CRS is given in Table 4. Granite rock sand usually has fineness modulus of 2.8–3.0.Web

What is the range of fineness modulus of sand which is least

Sand with a fineness modulus within this range is considered too coarse and will result in a weak and porous concrete. The reasons why this range of fineness modulus is least suitable for making good concrete are as follows:1. Poor Workability: Sand with a fineness modulus of 3.5-4.5 has a high percentage of coarse particles, which makes it ...Web
