Sieve Analysis and Grading Curve Data

The document presents data from a sieve analysis test. It shows the mass retained on each sieve size and the corresponding percentage retained and cumulative percentage passing. A grading curve is plotted with the percentage finer on the Y-axis and the log of the sieve size on the X-axis. The curve shows that over 60% of the sample passed through a 1.18 mm sieve, with about 30% passing through a 0.425 mm sieve.
