Q2. (a) You are given the following results from Atterberg Limits testing on a soil sample (PL= 23%, LL = 55%) collected from a boring on a local project site. The soil sample had natural moisture content of 56.3% prior to Atterberg Limits testing. If the soil is fine grained, what is the USCS Group Symbol (refer to Figure 2a) on page 7 for this soil and what does the natural moisture content result tell you about the soil in-situ (i.e. “in place")?
