Error on the Estimation of Sand Size Parameters When Using Small Diameter Sieves and a Solution

Analyses were carried out to determine the main sand size parameters (median grain size D50 and sorting σ) for beach nourishment purposes using the sieving method aboard a dredger. Due to a lack of space and the need to carry and use the material with ease, the sieves are commonly small (10 cm diame...
