Assignment 3

The document provides sieve analysis data including diameter, mass retained, and percentage retained for various sieve sizes. It then calculates coefficients like Cu, Cc, D10, D25, D50, D75 from the particle size distribution curve generated from the sieve analysis data. The summary includes calculations to determine the sorting coefficient (So), suitability number (SN), uniformity coefficient (Cu), and coefficient of curvature (Cc) from the particle size analysis.
