The sand obtained from a river are generally not suitable formediumfilter application due to its ineffective sizes. Therefore, the modification of this stock sand needs to be done in order to produce the desired filter sand. The sieve analysis of this stock sand was carried out and the results should be shown in your answers. Propose the sizes that should be eliminated during the modification process for a purpose of developing usable filter sand with an effective size and uniformity coefficient of 0.45 mm and 1.6, respectively.
