A soil has modified percentages for silt and clay which are 43.08% and 26.15%, respectively. (12pts) a. Classify the soil according to USDA textural classification system. b. Calculate the mass of clay particles if the mass of silt is 37.18 grams for the same soil. c. If the soil with a total mass of 348.92 grams consists of gravel, sand, silt, and clay; calculate the proportion of gravel to the total mass.

Question 13 Classify the following soil using the U.S. Department of Agriculture textural classification chart. Sand - 55 Silt - 5 Clay - 40 A) sandy clay loam B) silty clay c) clay D sandy clay
A Sample of soil was tested in the laboratory, and the test results were listed as follows. Classify the soil by both the AASHTO system and the Unified Soil classification system. Plastic Limit = 27% Mechanical grain-size analysis: Total Mass of Sample is 300 g Sieve No. 4 10 40 200 Casagrande Liquid Limit Test No of Blows 33 27 22 15 Mass Passed Through (g) 290 240 180 30 Moisture Content 18.2% 21.4% 26.6% 31.5%
10.. , The following are the characteristics of two soils. ClassifY the soils according te the AASHTO system. Soil A: Percent passing No.4 sieve = 98 Percent passing No.1 0 sieve = 90 Percent passing No. 40 sieve = 76 Percent passing No. 200 sieve = 34 Liquid limit = 38 Plastic limit = 26 Soil B: Percent passing No.4 sieve = 100 Percent passing No.1 0 sieve - 98 Percent passing No. 40 sieve = 86 Percent passing No. 200 sieve = 58 Liquid limit = 49 Plastic Limit = 28
