The size and shape of particles in the soil cannot reflect material composition and grain formation.
The grain size distribution of soil basically determines inter-particle forces and its packing.
Quartz grains are generally fine or small in shape and size during analysis of quartz.
Large particles in soil increase the chances of imperfection and brittle failure.
Which of the following equipment can be used for determining the grain size of soil particles?
Analysis of very small size grains of soil can also be possible by using sieves.
In a hydrometer test, a dispersing agent is mixed with water to increase its density.
Which of the following is not a type of a foundry?
It becomes easier to read the bottom part of the meniscus when the hydrometer is in a soil suspension.
