Grain-Size Analysis Test Results

The document reports the results of a grain-size analysis test on a soil sample from borehole BH-01 at a depth of 3.28 feet. The test was conducted on January 14, 2020 as part of a project investigating the performance of clay cement mortar reinforced with bamboo fiber. The test results show that over 96% of the soil sample passed through a No. 200 sieve, indicating that the soil consists primarily of fine-grained particles. Graphs of the grain-size distribution curve are also presented.
