INTRODUCTION

As is well known in all construction it is always paramount make a study of all the
factors which shall be subject to our structure, being the first soil survey as when
subjected to external loads may experience deformation; so that; if not adequately
addressed can lead to various accidents.
Soil mechanics is based on experimentation which gives us tests and procedures
to identify the various physical and mechanical properties of soil. This test is to
determine the size distribution of soil particles.
This report aims to explain the procedure for calculating the grain of soil, for which
the laboratory of the San Ignacio de Loyola University was used. For the
development of the trials it had as a reference a "Guide of Soil Mechanics
Laboratory".
Therefore granulometry tests are intended to determine quantitatively the
distribution of soil particles according to their size. The distribution of particles with
size greater than 0.075 is determined by sieving, with a set of standard mesh. For
particles smaller than 0.075 mm, its size is determined by observing the rate of
sedimentation of particles in a suspension of known density and viscosity.

PROCEDURE
First we separate a sample of 3.11 Kg which we take on the sieves were one over
another in an orderly manner according to its diameter, we shake until you can
distinguish the amount of sample on each sieve, then weigh each of these in the
that balance was calibrated every time we had to weigh the samples and collect
the following data achievement.

we take a sample of fine aggregate and we
sieving all of them. Then we shake it until the fine aggregate fall to all the sieves,
when it process is complete we pass to measure the weight of all the content in
each sieve. With a weighing scales we get each weight then we collect this weights
to use for calculations

RECOMMENDATIONS

Avoid leaving the material adhered the sieve.

Before weighing the tare, this must be clean and dry.
Do not mix the sieved particles.
Remove all residue from the previous balance to get an accurate
measurement of our samples.

 Be careful when handling the equipment and instruments to avoid breakage

or damage to these as well as personal accident.
Humidity conditions for controlling the mixture should not be so vulnerable to
moisture absorption.
Keep samples in case you need to check the results.
Use digital balance for more accuracy. (as was done in this analysis).
Ensure that the balance is calibrated.
The samples (aggregates) should be dry.
Do not hit the sieve.

CONCLUSIN

We conclude that the material has a percentage of % fines and a moisture

content of 4.33 %.
Particle size is used to determine if the addition is good for the development of
concrete.
The fine aggregate if it can be used for the elaboration of concrete, but,
because this does not provide the same resistance that would provide a
concrete made with sand if it meets with the standard NTC174.
