Sieve Analysis Graph

The document reports the results of a sieve analysis test on a soil sample. It includes the percentage of particles finer than various sieve sizes ranging from 4.75mm to 0.075mm. It also lists the D10, D30, and D60 values which represent the grain sizes at which 10%, 30%, and 60% of the sample is finer. Graphs are presented showing the grain size distribution curve and indicating that D10=0.095mm, D30=0.19mm, and D60=0.41mm.
