Question

define fine aggregates​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fine aggregates generally consist of natural sand or crushed stone with most particles passing through a 3/8-inch sieve. Coarse aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inches in diameter.

Answer 2

The aggregate should be oven-dried at high temperature before sieving to prevent lump formation of the fine particles due to moisture content, which might clog the fine sieve holes.
