3、 : Sand，whose particle size is less than 5mm ，is fine aggregate in concrete. Sand can be divided into three types,named natural sand ,artificial sand and mixed sand.sand are required to have a good grading and certain fineness modulus in order to improve the workability of concrete. The grading of s

4、and represents the distribution of sands grain size. An unreasonable sand grading result in the increase of cement dosage in unit volume concrete and the decrease of concrete workability. The degree of fineness modulus represents the degree of sand thickness.Sand whose fineness modulus is greater th

5、an 3.7 or less than 0.7 is not used for concrete. The smaller the fineness modulus of sand is ,the more cement will be used when the concert are mixed up. Sieving method are usually used to test the grading of sand. A series of sieves whose mesh size are different are used when testing sand gradatio

6、n by the method of sieving.the mesh size of the sieves include 4.75mm , 2.36mm , 1.18mm , 0.60mm , 0.30mm , 0.15mm , 0.075mm. The sand sample go through the sieves in order.We have to weigh the sand remained in every sieves.Than calculate the percentage of single screened residue () and percentage o

Than we can get the gradation and fineness modulus of sand .The following are formulas for the gradation and fineness modulus of sand.The gradation of sand : a=m/M4.75mmm1a1A1= a12.36mmm2a2A2=a1+a21.18mmm3a3A3= a1+ a2+ a30.60mmm4a4A4= a1+

9、.It takes about 15-20 minutes.Then screen the dry sand in sieve whose mesh is 9.50mm. Divide the rest sand into two parts that will be used later.2. take 500 grams of sand that have been dried up,accurate to within 1gram.Then put the sample on the sieves sorted by mesh size from largest to smallest

10、and sieve them out.3. Put the sieves with sand in the sieve shaker .Than open the sieve shaker .Shut down the sieve shaker 10 minutes later and than take the sieves with sand down.After this progress ,the sieves should be screened by hand from the largest one to the smallest one.4. Weigh the remaine

18、2.663 Results and Discussion (1) How does the fineness modulus of sand affect the form of concrete, the preparation of concrete and the performance of concrete? Fineness modulus represents the size of sand which has a great influence on concrete. The higher fineness modulus is ,the larger

19、size is the sand. Generally, sand that have a fineness modulus higher than 3.7 is not suit for concrete. Its hard to control the workability of concrete with this kind of sand . Besides this kind of concrete has a higher coefficient of internal friction which will result in a Bad plasticity . Sand t

20、hat have a fineness modulus lower than 0.7 is also not used for concrete . The higher fineness modulus is , The more cement we need. The strength of concrete with this kind of sand decreased significantly and the concrete is easy to crack.Only sand who has a fineness modulus within 0.7 and 3.7 is al

21、lowed to be used for concrete according to GBT_14684-2001 in china. When mixing concrete,we have to take both gradation and fineness modulus of Sand into account. It makes plenty of sense for economic concrete to choose an appropriate gradation and fineness modulus. (2) What should we do when the natural gradation of sand
