AN IMAGE-BASED METHOD TO DETERMINE THE PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION (PSD) OF FINE-GRAINED SOIL

AN IMAGE-BASED METHOD TO DETERMINE THE PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION (PSD) OF FINE-GRAINED SOIL

This paper discusses the PSD effects on the behavior of soil and its properties. The coarse grain part of soil can be analyzed with sieve analysis. Evaluating the PSD of fi ne-grained soil with the traditional method (hydrometer analysis) is a time-consuming process, has laboratory complexities and th...
