    تنكو احمد رمضان
    This document describes a sieve analysis experiment to determine the particle size distribution of a soil sample. The experiment involves weighing sieves with different sized meshes, shaking the soil sample through the sieves for 5 minutes, reweighing the sieves to determine the amount of soil retained, and calculating the percentage of soil by size. The results show the particle size distribution and confirm the total mass of soil was conserved during the experiment.

    Sieve analysis

    OBJECTIVE

    To determine the particle size distribution of a soil sample by a sieve process. This analysis
    can be used to predict ground water moment and soil classification.

    THEORY

    Particles size distribution analysis is used in engineering soil classification universally. This is
    because the particle size plays an important role in the selection of soil in cons
    APPARATUS

    1) Sieves (British Standard)

    2) Motar and plastic pestle

    3) Sieve brushes

    4) Mechanical sieve shaker


    5) Electronic balance
    EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE

    1) Finely crush soil sample in a mortar using plastic pestle until all particles areseperated.
    2) The mass of all sieve and lock atreadable 0.1g accuracy was weighed. The sieves
    according to the size together was installed with the receiver and cover.
    3) The mass of 250g soil sample readable at 0.1g accuracy was weighed and the sieves the
    soil using using the british standard sieves and mechanical sieves shaker for 5 minutes.
    4) The mass of each sieve and its content at accuracy to 0.1g was weighed. The total up
    all soil mass that is left on the sieve and receiver. Compare the mass of soil with the
    used soil mass which is 200g. If the difference is greater than 1.0g repeat the
    experiment.
    5) Keep the sieves soil of #36 (all the soil under sieves #36) for the purpose of experiment

    ANALYSIS DATA

    Sample of Calculation,

    Coarse size particle

     Sieve #7 (2.36mm)

    Empty sieve mass (gm) = 476.2 gm

    Soil sieve mass (gm) = 537.0 gm

    Soil Mass (gm) = 537.0 gm – 4776.2 gm


    = 60.80 gm

    Percentage % = × 100
    𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑆𝑜𝑖𝑙 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠

    60.80𝑔𝑚
    = × 100
    250 𝑔𝑚

    = 24.3%

    From the result,

     Total of soil sample mass before sieving is 250g


     Total of soil sample mass after sieving 250g
     No loss when sieving the soil sample.
