Problem Set 2

This document provides instructions for a problem set involving soil particle size distribution analysis. Students are asked to: 1) Determine percent finer for each sieve, plot the distribution curve, and calculate uniformity, gradation, and sorting coefficients. 2) Draw a grain size distribution curve using provided sieve and hydrometer analysis results. 3) Using a provided grain size characteristics table, calculate effective grain size, average grain size, uniformity, gradation, and sorting coefficients to determine the soil type curve.
