Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 4: Determination of particle size distribution (ISO 17892-4:2016); German version EN ISO 17892-4:2016

Summary

This document describes methods for the determination of the particle size distribution of soil samples.The particle size distribution is one of the most important physical characteristics of soil. Classification of soils is mainly based on the particle size distribution.The particle size distribution provides a description of soil, based on a subdivision in discrete classes of particle sizes. The size of each class can be determined by sieving and/or sedimentation.
