Expert Solution
Introduction

Sieve analysis is the test used in civil engineering to determine the percentage of different size of grain present in soil. This help engineers to classify the soil according to the parameters.The determination of type of soil and its condition is important before designing any structure, it help us to decide which type of foundation has to be laid.
