GROUP # 1.

“PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION TEST”. [LABORATORY # 1].

MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT. Q). SET OF SIEVES. . SOIL SAMPLE.

PROCEDURES. 1. Prepare at least 1000 g of dried sample of soil.

PROCEDURES. 2. Prepare a stack of sieves correctly, Make sure that the larger opening size will be place on top of the smaller one. Determine the initial weight of each sieve and pan, and all the data that we get will write on the table 1.1.

PROCEDURES. 3. Put the weighted soil into the stack of sieve from the top and place the cover..

PROCEDURES. 4. Place the stack of sieve in the sieve shaker, lock the two(2) side clump to make sure that stack of sieve will not move before operating..

PROCEDURES. 5. After achieving, determine the mass of each with retained soil..

PROCEDURES. 6. You can now tabulate the data, calculate the required percent finer of each sieve. And plot the point of each sieve size between particle size and percent finer..
