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.

2.2 and 2.6 please
I am working on a lab report for a sieve analysis that was conducted in the lab. I got that the soil was made up of approximately: 20.5% gravel, 77.8% sand, and 1.7% fines. The values for the coefficient of uniformity (Cu) and coefficient of gradation (Cc) are 10.56 and 0.528 respectively. What does this mean when it comes to engineering design? Would the soil be considered good for building a structure? If so, is there a specific type of structure that would work best with this type of soil?
