Title: Grain Size Distributions and Soil Particle Characteristics PDF
Url: http://user.engineering.uiowa.edu/~swan/courses/53030/notes/gsd.pdf
Creator: Swan, Colby C.
Publisher: University of Iowa
Description: In soil mechanics, it is virtually always useful to quantify the size of the grains in a type of soil. Since a given soil will often be made up of grains of many different sizes, sizes are measured in terms of grain size distributions.Grain size distribution (GSD) information can be of value in providing initial rough estimates of a soil’s engineering properties such as permeability;ability, strength, expansiveness, etc.
