The particle-size distribution curve shows not only the range of particle sizes
__presentin the soil, but also the type of distribution of various-size particles.
‘Poorly graded soils one where most ofthe soil grains are the same size.
Wall graded soil is one in which the particle sizes are distributed over a
wide range. A well graded soil has C, greater than about 4 for gravels
“and 6 for sands, and C, between 1 and 3 for gravels and sands,
