This document contains the results of sieve analyses performed on manufactured sand, natural sand, and their proposed blend for a mix design. The manufactured sand was initially 1000g and sieved through various sieve sizes down to a pan, with the majority passing a 2.5mm sieve. The natural sand was initially 500g and also sieved down to a pan. The proposed mix design combines manufactured sand, natural sand, and coarse aggregate in specified proportions to meet the gradation requirements.

Lab steps:
1. weight up the cylinder in air 4. dry surface, and weight the samples in air
2. put the samples in 25C for 10 minute 5. bath in 60C for 30min - 40 min
3. weight them under water 6. washed seive
7. breaking the samples.
