Question
how do you actually calculate D10 and D60 in c? is there a way to do it without plotiting the points in a calculator?

Transcribed Image Text:1. Grain size distribution curves: The following sieves
were used to determine grain size distribution: No. 4,
No. 10, No. 20, No. 40, No. 60, No. 100, and No. 200.
Exercise Table 7.1 provides the weight of material
retained on each sieve and the fraction that passed the
No. 200 sieve.
a. Complete the table by calculating the values based
on the information supplied.
b. Using five-cycle semilog paper, plot the grain size
distribution for this sieve analysis.
c. Give the D60 and the D10 values for this sieve
analysis. Calculate the k value for this analysis
using Hazen's approximation, which states that
k (cm/sec) = 100D10² (D10 in mm).
d. Calculate the coefficient of uniformity and the
coefficient of curvature for this analysis. Is the
sample well graded? Explain why or why not.
