11、f the fineness modulus varies by more than 0.20 fromthe value assumed in selecting proportions for the mortar,theaggregate shall be rejected unless suitable adjustments aremade in proportions to compensate for the change in grading.NOTE2For heavy construction employing joints thicker than 12.5mm(12i
