Particle Size Distribution
❖Particle size analysis (Sieve
Analysis) is the determination of
particle size distribution in soils by
sieve.

❖Particle size distribution is widely


used in the classification and
identification of soils. It is an important
criteria in the classification of highway
subgrade materials.

Sieve Analysis
❖Maximum Size
❖The smallest sieve opening through which the entire amount is
required to pass.
❖Nominal Maximum Size
❖ the smallest sieve opening through which the majority of sample
passes.
