Fineness test for cement is used to determine the particle size of cement particles. It is an important test in the process of manufacturing cement as the fineness of cement particles directly influences its strength and setting time. Test Procedure: 1. Take a 100 gram sample of cement and place it on a clean and dry 90-micron sieve. 2.
Calculation of Fineness Modulus of Sand. Let us say the dry weight of sample = 1000gm After sieve analysis the values appeared are tabulated below. Therefore, fineness modulus of aggregate = (cumulative % retained) / 100 = (275/100) = 2.75 Fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.75. It means the average value of aggregate is in between the 2 nd ...
Fineness Test of Cement. Fineness test of cement is done to determine the particle size of cement. As, the rule of thumb, the finer the cement particle the best will be the cement and on the other hand the coarser the particle it will not be that good. The fineness of cement is determined by two methods; 1. Sieving Method. 2.

According to Sivakumar and Prakash, concrete with a fine to coarse aggregate ratio of 0.6 that has of its sand replaced with quarry dust has a higher elastic modulus and compressive strength. High fineness quarry dust reduced the amount of water needed in regular concrete, hence its use was restricted.
Itcan be due to the extra fineness of quarry dust. Increased fineness require greater amount of water for the mix ingredients to get closer packing, results in decreasedworkability of the mix. ... The test is carried out on 150x150x150 mm size cubes, as per IS: 516-1959. The test specimens are
