3. The following results were obtained from sieve analyses and Atterberg limits of three soils: Soil A, B, and C. Hydrometer tests were conducted on the material that passed the No. 200 sieve for Soil A and Soil C. The ratio of clay to silt is 4:1 for Soil A and 1.5:1 for Soil C. The Atterberg limits of the <#40 fractions of the three soils are: Soil A: plastic limit = 40% liquid limit = 65%; non-plastic Soil B: Soil C: liquid limit = 42%; plastic limit=9%
