Sand sieve analysis is a technique used in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering to determine the particle size distribution of a sample of sand. It involves separating the sand into a series of particle size fractions using a set of standardized sieves.
The process starts with obtaining a sand sample from a known location, such as a quarry, beach or riverbed. The sand is then dried in an oven to remove any moisture. A predetermined amount of sand is weighed out and placed on the top sieve of the stack of sieves.
The stack of sieves is then placed on a mechanical shaker or vibratory sieve shaker that agitates the sieves at a specific frequency and amplitude. The sieves are stacked in decreasing order of mesh size from top to bottom, with the smallest mesh size at the bottom.
As the sand vibrates in the sieve stack, smaller particles fall through the larger holes of each sieve and collect in the pan beneath each sieve. The amount of sand retained on each sieve is recorded by weighing the residual sand on each sieve after shaking is complete.
The results of the sand sieve analysis can be plotted on a graph showing the particle size distribution curve. This curve is used to measure the mean particle size, the uniformity coefficient, and the coefficient of gradation of the sand sample.
Sand sieve analysis is essential in many construction projects, such as building foundations, retaining walls, and roadways. The particle size distribution of sand can affect properties such as porosity, permeability, and compressibility, which can impact the stability and suitability of structures built on or from the sand.
