Influence of sieving time on the efficiency and accuracy of grain‐size analysis of beach and dune sands

Abstract: Grain size is a fundamental property of sediments and is commonly used to describe sedimentary facies and classify sedimentary environments. Among the various conventional techniques utilized to determine grain-size frequency distributions, sieving is the most widely applied procedure. The accuracy of such analyses is, among other factors, strongly dependent on the sieving time. However, despite a substantial amount of research in this field, optimal sieving times for different types of sediments have, to date… Show more

“…Sand sampling, analysis of the grain size and collection of master samples were performed according to the recommendations proposed by Medina et al (1994), Román-Sierra et al (2013) andUSACE (2002). Samples were dry sieved for 10 min in a Ro-Tap sieve shaker machine operated at 2.6 rpm and 300 taps/min.…”

“…11 sieve fractions). Samples were sieved in a mechanical sieve shaker for 15 min, which was sufficient time to allow complete separation into size classes (Román‐Sierra et al ., ). Sediment trapped on each sieve screen was collected and weighed to calculate the GSD.…”

“…Textural properties and the SOM were determined from the sediment samples that were pre‐treated following standard procedures (ISO 11464). Grain size parameters were calculated from dry sieving results (ISO/TS 17892–4; Christiansen & Hartman, ; Roman‐Sierra et al ., ) using the Microsoft Excel add‐in GRADISTAT (Blott & Pye, ). The geometric modified Folk and Ward () graphical measures (Blott & Pye, ) were used in all calculations (parameters were reported at the metric scale).…”
