Expert Solution
Explanation
Dense graded: The aggregate has more number of smaller particles that fills voids and makes a dense mixture,
For this the curve is left side of diagonal
Open-graded: unline densely this has less number of fines so, there are so many voids
The graph is towards the right of diagonal
Fine-grained soil: these has all particles passing through No 200 sieve so the graph is towards left
Gap graded: These contains all different sizes and it is similar to well-graded but an equal distribution of sizes
So the graph is like S curve as shown
