Soil gradation is a classification of a coarse-grained soil that ranks the soil based on the different particle sizes contained in the soil.[1] Soil gradation is an important aspect of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering because it is an indicator of other engineering properties such as compressibility, shear strength, and hydraulic conductivity. In a design, the gradation of the in situ or on site soil often controls the design and ground water drainage of the site. A poorly graded soil will have better drainage than a well graded soil.[2]

Soil Gradation Categories
Soil is graded as either well graded or poorly graded.[3]
Soil gradation is determined by analyzing the results of a sieve analysis [4][5] or a hydrometer analysis.[1]
The process for grading a soil is in accordance with either the Unified Soil Classification System or the AASHTO Soil Classification System. Gradation of a soil is determined by reading the grain size distribution curve produced from the results of laboratory tests on the soil. Gradation of a soil can also be determined by calculating the coefficient of uniformity, Cu, and the coefficient of curvature, Cc, of the soil and comparing the calculated values with published gradation limits
