A 1000g of sand has been soaked for at least 24hours prior to lab. After drying the sample to saturated surface dry condition, the samples were split into two and put in tare cans. Can1+sample weigh 800g and can2+sample weigh 300g. Can1+sample was used for determining the specific gravity, where volume of water displaced in flask is 320cc. Can2+sample was used for determining the oven-dry weight which resulted to 280g. If the weight of can 1 and 2 is 5g and 6g respectively, determine the Absorption capacity and specific gravity of sand.

Soil classification and characteristics

Soil classification is a method of categorizing soil based on its properties, types, and uses. The motive of soil classification is to arrange various types of soils and divide them into groups for various engineering and agricultural purposes. Soil classification is carried out by various agencies as per their purposes. From an engineering perspective, soil classification is done to find out the suitability of soil for various construction purposes like the construction of dams, foundations, highways, infrastructures, and so on. For engineering purposes, the soil is classified by the following systems:
