If soils cumulatively retained on sieve #4 is 68%, then the percentage of soil classified as sand, silt, and clay is:
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1: Introduction:
Based on the cumulative retention on sieve #4, we need more information about the particle size distribution to determine the percentage of sand, silt, and clay soil. According to the standard particle size classification system used, the percentage of soil classified as sand, silt, and clay can be determined.
