2.10 A particle size analysis on a soil sample yields the fol- lowing data: Sieve no. 3/8" 4 10 20 60 200 Pan Sieve size (mm) Mass retained (grams) 9.53 4.75 2.0 0.84 0.25 0.074 310 580 380 260 680 210 (a) Plot the particle size distribution curve. (b) Determine the amount of coarse-grained and fine- grained soils in the sample. 2.11 The following results were obtained from sieve analyses of two soils: Sieve no. Opening (mm) Soil A Soil B 4 4.75 10 2.00 20.2 48.2 20 0.85 25.7 19.6 40 0.425 40.4 60.3 100 0.15 18.1 37.2 200 0.075 27.2 22.1 Pan 68.2 5.6 Hydrometer tests of these soils give the following re- sults: Soil A, % finer than 0.002 mm = 48%; Soil B, % finer than 0.002 mm = 2%. (a) Plot the gradation curve for each soil on the same graph. (b) How much coarse-grained and fine-grained soils are in each soil? (c) What are the percentages of clay and silt in each soil? (d) Determine D10 for each soil. (e) Determine the uniformity coefficient and the coef- ficient of concavity for each soil. (f) Describe the gradation curve (e.g., well graded) for each soil.
