Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Centrifugal Method of Mechanical Soil Analysis
The mechanical analysis of a soil consists (1) in the separation of the soil particles into groups dependent upon the size of the grains, and (2) in the determination of the percentage by weight of the par ticles constituting each group. The limits of these groups are arbi trarily chosen, with reference (a) to the ease in making the separation, and (b) to the importance of the particles of any given size in deter mining the physical characteristics of the soil.
