Sieve Size (MM) : Mass Retained (Grams) : Percent Finer (%) :: Legend!! 34

The document summarizes the results of a soil particle size analysis. It provides the particle size distribution for two soil samples by sieve size, calculates key particle sizes (D10, D30, D60), and determines the uniformity coefficient (Cu) and coefficient of gradation (Cc) for each sample. Both samples are classified as poorly graded based on their Cu and Cc values being outside the ranges for well-graded soil.
