Soil classification and characteristics

Soil classification is a method of categorizing soil based on its properties, types, and uses. The motive of soil classification is to arrange various types of soils and divide them into groups for various engineering and agricultural purposes. Soil classification is carried out by various agencies as per their purposes. From an engineering perspective, soil classification is done to find out the suitability of soil for various construction purposes like the construction of dams, foundations, highways, infrastructures, and so on. For engineering purposes, the soil is classified by the following systems:

In concrete work, Fuller and Thompson (1907) suggested that a dense packing of grains can be achieved if the percent finer (p) and grain size (D) are related by the following equation, where n is a constant varying in the range of 0.3-0.6. Dmax is the size of the largest grain within the soil. p=(DDmax)n100 This equation is sometimes used in roadwork for selecting the aggregates. a. For n = 0.5, show that the soil is well graded. b. If n = 0.5 and Dmax = 19.0 mm, find the percentages of gravel, sand, and fines within the soil. Use the Unified Soil Classification System.
The following weights were found while determining the different specific gravities of a sample of coarse aggregate: Mass of moist coarse aggregate sample as brought to the laboratory: 5,298 g. Mass of oven dried aggregate: 5,200 g. Mass of aggregate submerged in water: 3,300 g. Mass of SSD aggregate: 5,220 g. Find the bulk saturated surface dry specific gravity. 2.718 2.715 2.223 3.103
A compact tension specimen is tested according to ASTM standard E399. The load displacement curve is shown in the Figure below with PQ= 120 kN (Type 1 curve). The specimen dimensions are B=0.5 cm, W=10 cm, and “a” =5 cm. If the materials yield stress is 600 MPa are the conditions correct for a valid K1C measurement? Please look up McEviley’s textbook on the thickness criterion for a valid fracture toughness value.
