Question
The results of sieve analysis performed on a soil are given below. The mass of dry sample taken for the test was $300\text{g}$. Draw the particle size distribution curve and determine the uniformity coefficient and coefficient of curvature and comment on the result.
Sieve size: $4.75\text{mm}$ | $2.4\text{mm}$ | $1.2\text{mm}$ | $600\mu$ | $425\mu$ | $300\mu$ | $150\mu$ | $75\mu$
Mass of soil retained (g): $19.4$ | $24.96$ | $29.37$ | $36.88$ | $45.74$ | $47.99$ | $37.74$ | $57.92$
