Q2. (a) You are given the following results from Atterberg Limits testing on a soil sample (PL= 23%, LL = 55%) collected from a boring on a local project site. The soil sample had natural moisture content of 56.3% prior to Atterberg Limits testing. If the soil is fine grained, what is the USCS Group Symbol (refer to Figure 2a) on page 7 for this soil and what does the natural moisture content result tell you about the soil in-situ (i.e. “in place")?

You are given the results of index testing (i.e., Atterberg Limits; ASTM D422 and D4318) of two soil samples collected during a recent geotechnical exploration. The index test results are presented in Figure B. The first sample was taken between depths of 1.5 ft to 2.5 ft below the existing ground surface. The second sample was taken between depths of 6.5 ft to 7.5 ft below the existing ground surface. The groundwater table, at the time of the geotechnical exploration, was at a depth of 4.0 ft from the existing ground surface.
