The properties of fine aggregates from six sources (locations) commonly used for construction purposes in Wudil, Kano State were determined. Fine aggregates samples A, B, C and D were characterized as a zone II materials while samples E and F were characterized as zone IV. The fineness modulus of samples A, B, C and D were far above 3.0 indicating a coarser grading while those of samples E and F indicated a finer grading. The average specific gravities of the soil samples were found to be between 2.60 to 2.64 respectively which fall within the range of 2.4 – 2.9 as specified by (BS 882 2004). The average compacted bulk densities are between 1663.35kg/m3 to 1801.13kg/m3 and uncompacted (Loose) bulk densities are between 1065.34 kg/m3 to 1294.03 kg/m3 for all the fine aggregate samples. The deviation from the standard is reasoned to be due to sample disturbance.
