Description
View Important System Requirements for running this course.
A natural sample of soil contains particles of various sizes and shapes in varying amounts. Determining particle size distribution of coarse grained soils is important to determine the suitability of soils for the design and construction of drainage filters, subbase and base courses for roads and airfields, levees, dams, and other embankments. In addition, particle size distribution of soil is also used to predict movement of water in soil and susceptibility of the soil to frost action. This video presents step-by-step procedure to develop particle size distribution curve, understanding common shapes of particle size distribution curves, and classification of coarse grained soils.

Learning Objectives:
- Difference between fine gained and coarse grained soils
- How US standard sieves are numbered
- How to perform sieve analysis test using dry method and wet method
- How to analyze particle size distribution curves to determine if the sample is well graded or poorly graded
- Possible errors associated with the test
