Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Soil gradation is a classification of a coarse-grained soil that ranks the soil based on the different particle sizes contained in the soil. Soil gradation is an important aspect of geotechnical engineering and is an indicator of other engineering properties such as compressibility, shear strength, and hydraulic conductivity. In a design, the gradation of the in situ or on site soil often controls the design and ground water drainage of the site. A poorly graded soil will have better drainage than a well graded soil. Soil is graded as either well graded or poorly graded. Poorly graded soils are further divided into uniformly-graded or gap-graded soils. Soil gradation is determined by analyzing the results of a sieve analysis or a hydrometer analysis.
