    The document summarizes a sieve analysis experiment conducted to determine the grain size distribution of a sand sample. The experiment involved weighing sieves before and after adding sand, shaking the sieves for 10 minutes, and calculating the percentage of sand retained and passing through each sieve. The results showed that 7.97% of sand was retained above 4.75mm with the remaining passing through to smaller sieves. The summary concludes that sieve analysis is important for classifying sands and understanding their engineering properties for construction applications.

    Objective :
    To determine the grain size distribution curve of a sand sample by which sand can
    be classified and their engineering properties assessed ,This test is that it
    performed to determine the percentage of different grain sizes contained with in a
    sand .

    Introduction :
    A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used (commonly
    used in Civil Engineering) to assess the particle size distribution (also called
    gradation) of a granular material. The size distribution is often of critical
    importance to the way the material performs in use .sieve analysis can be
    performed on any type of non-organic or organic granular materials including
    sands, crushed rock, clays, granite, feldspars, coal, soil, a wide range of
    manufactured powders, grain and seeds, down to a minimum size depending on
    the exact method. Being such a simple technique of particle sizing, it is probably
    the most common used in practice .

    Procedure :
    In our experiment we have six Sieve analysis, or we have been recorded weight of
    all empty clean sieves and recorded weight of dry sand , it must be All sieves
    should be clean before operation , the dry sand had been putted in the sieve and
    sieve was covered by cap ,the stack of sieve had been placed in the mechanical
    shaker and had been shacked for 10 min ,the stack of sieve had been removed
    from the mechanical shaker and the weight of all sieve with it is retained soil had
    been recorded carefully . And with not forget the weight of pan with its retained
    sand .

    Result and Calculation :
    Sieve Diameter Empty Mass of Soil Percent Percent
    number Sieve Sieve& retained Retained passing
    mass retained (g)
    (M1) (g)

    1 4.75 563.2 611 47.8 7.97% 92.03


    2 1.18 518 677 159 26.54% 65.49
    3 600 486 537.32 51.32 8.55% 56.94
    4 300 329.1 441 111.9 18.66% 38.28
    5 750 402 557 155 25.84% 12.44
    6 0 472.45 547.1 74.65 12.44% 0.0

    Total wt of sand = 600 g .

    Total wt of soil retained (M2-M1) = 599.67 g .


    Note :
    Percent Retained = ( Soil retained \total ) * 100
    Percent passing =100 - Percent Retained
    Such as :
    100-7.97 = 92.03
    then
    92.03 -26.54 = 65.49

    Discussion and Conclusion :

    4
    We conclude that  sieve analysis is Test shows that the distribution of
    grain sizes effects the properties of sand and this sieve
    analysis procedure can be used by people who are working in the
    laboratory like government laboratory and private independent
    laboratory, The error in this test was if the sieves weighted before
    cleaning it , or The result of the test was fault, because the correct
    weight of sand was not used in this test.in the test we classifying the
    sand very easy by the test and we can say this test is very important
    and facilitates our work at the building and another areas of building.
    in this experiment we know how the grain size analysis used to
    identification and classification of sand ,and how determine the present
    retained and present passing .
