A highway (20 Km) long traverses a ground of flat terrain between station (7+500) km and station (27+500) km with the following characteristics: for the first (10 Km) composed of (7 m) deep soft, saturated soil whose liquid limit is 43%, plastic limit is 23% and possesses (85%) of particles smaller than 75 microns, the remaining (10 Km) are sandy soil on the top (3.0 m) with gravelly sand underneath whose liquid limit is 15%, plastic limit is 5% and possesses 30% of particles smaller than 75 microns: a) What measures would you take to construct the embankment, if the road between station (7+500) km and station (27+500) km needed as soon as possible? b) Describe the material and check the suitability of it as a subgrade material.
