        The particle size distribution provides important information about other soil engineering properties. Finer particles are usually determined by classical sedimentation methods such as hydrometer or pipette. These methods are based on simplifying assumptions and despite operational complexities, the obtained results are not precise. In this time, the Image Processing Methods were used in different industries to obtain various information’s about size distributions and particle shape analysis. The present research suggests the image processing method based on analysis of microscopic images of stable particles (static method) for determining the size and shape distribution of the fine-grained fraction of the soil. The images of fine-grained soil particles prepared with optical microscopes were analyzed to generate information about particle size and shape. By comparing gradation curves obtained with image processing and hydrometric methods, we found that there is more adaptation in the range of 40 to 70 microns of particle sizes. Investigations have shown that in this range, the shape of the particles have less diversity and are closer to the perfect sphere form. This study found that image processing, while reducing costs, could provide more comprehensive information and would be expected to be used in geotechnical laboratories. تفاصيل المقالة
