NOTES: When both fine and coarse aggregates are poorly graded, the following
general rules regarding suitable proportioning of these will be found helpful:
1. For maximum size of coarse aggregates as 40mm and over, sand should be
half as much as coarse aggregates.
2. For maximum size of coarse aggregates as 20mm and over, sand should be
two-thirds as much as coarse aggregates.
