"The grading of aggregate has shown good influence on the quantity of air entrainment. It was established that the quantity of air increased from the lowest of sand to a peak at about F.M. of 2.5, and, thereafter, decreased sharply. The sand fraction of 300 and 150 microns showed a significant effect on the quantity of air entrainment. The higher quantity of these fractions resulted in more air entrainment."
