Partition Curve - 2013 - Lecture Notes

The document describes the results of a sieve analysis test performed on a sample. The test involves separating the sample into different size fractions by passing it through a series of sieves, and weighing the material in each fraction. A graph of the cumulative percent passing versus particle size is presented, showing an S-shaped curve. Calculations are provided of various metrics from the test, including the efficiency of separation and the inspection value.
