    The document discusses particle size analysis and grading tests of soils. It describes different methods (A, B, C) for calculating percentages of particle sizes retained on various sieves after sieving a soil sample. The procedures involve weighing the mass of soil retained on each sieve, calculating individual percentages retained (IPR) and cumulative percentages retained (CPR), then determining the cumulative mass retained (CMR) and cumulative percentages passing (CPP) through each sieve. An example calculation using Method A is provided.
