The results from a sieve analysis are shown below. Plot the grain size distribution data using a computer on a semi-log plot (% finer on y-axis vs log of particle size in mm on the x-axis – you can download the plot from the lab 2 material). You can draw the curve through the points by hand. Show how you obtained the values you plotted.

Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.
