The critical load of the shorter specimens was expected to be much higher than that of the longer specimens. Also due to boundary conditions the clamped specimens were expected to have critical loads four times greater than their simply supported counterparts, The theoretical values for the critical loads of the six experiments are shown in table 3.1 ‘Table 3.1- Theoretical critical buckling loadsEXPERIMENT- DETERMINATION OF PARTICAL SIZE DISTRIBUTION OF AGGREGATE Silt content = (cumulative percentage retained on specified stoves) 100) where FM. = fineness modulus (2.67+9,5+33.67+78.16+98.5+99.5)/ 100 =3.22Laurence Chenab Sargedha Margala pure Sand Name of Sand Crush Crush Sample 2.563 1.492 2.920 2876 Fineness Modulus. As we know that the Fineness modulus is a measurement of coarseness or fineness of a given aggregate, higher the FM the coarser aggregate. The above table is showing us that the Laurence pure sane coarser then Chenab sand and similarly Sargodha crush is coarser then marg crush. As we know that Larger value of FM Is preferred for fine aggregates & | a good fine aggregate, the FM should be between 23 and 31 So, we ¢ conclude that the Laurence pure sand is a good fine aggregate as the finene modulus of Laurence pure sand is in between the given range of a good f aggregate. The most coarser of all the samples is Sargodha crush as its finene modulus is greater of all, As surface area is inversely proportional to finene modulus so Chenab sand will be having the greater surface area of all samples as its fineness modulus is least that is 1.492
