Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.

Question

Classify the frost susceptibility of the following soils:
a. Sandy gravel (GW) with 3 percent finer than 0.02 mm.
b. Well-graded sand (SW) with 4 percent finer than 0.02 mm.
c. Silty sand (SM) with 20 percent finer than 0.02 mm.
d. Fine silty sand (SM) with 35 percent finer than 0.02 mm.
e. Sandy silt (ML) with 70 percent finer than 0.02 mm.
f. Clay (CH) with plasticity index = 60.
