Improvement of the Usefulness of Particle Size Distribution Analysis for Well Design

Abstract

The classification of soils according to the mechanical (sieve) analysis do not change and the difference between results of circle and curves methods are insignificant (negligible). In this sense, the circle analysis is considered to be a significant technological advancement towards grain size distribution of aquifer materials. It should also be pointed out that further studies on the determination of slot size and gravel pack by using circle method are needed to make more reasonable judgments for utilization of circle analysis in hydrogeology and civil engineering. A new novel for measuring the particle size distribution of aquifer was conducted to compare the results obtained from sieve analysis depending on old methods (retained and passing).
