    The document presents the results of a particle size analysis test on a soil sample. The test sieved the soil through various sieve sizes ranging from 20mm to 63μm. The results show the mass retained and percent retained on each sieve, as well as the cumulative percent passing. Most of the soil (49.16%) was retained on the 2mm sieve. Additional tests were conducted to determine the liquid limit, plastic limit, and water content of the soil sample. The liquid limit ranged from 18.77% to 24.64% and the plastic limit was 16.32%.
