Transcribed Image Text:## Soil Classification Analysis
### (a) USDA Soil Classification:
A table is provided showing the USDA soil classification based on particle size distribution. The table includes the following data:
| Soil | 2.0 mm | 0.05 mm | 0.002 mm | Gravel | Sand | Silt | Clay |
|-------|--------|---------|----------|--------|------|------|------|
| F | 100 | 26 | 0 | 0 | 74 | 26 | 0 |
| G | 77 | 5 | 0 | 23 | 72 | 5 | 0 |
- **Select classifications** for Soil "F" based on USDA.
- **Select classifications** for Soil "G" based on USDA.
### (b) AASHTO Classification:
This section presents a table for AASHTO soil classification, focusing on sieve analysis and Atterberg limits:
| Soil | #10 | #40 | #200 | LL | Ip |
|-------|-----|-----|------|----|----|
| F | 100 | 78 | 36 | 30 | 4 |
| G | 77 | 28 | 8 | NP | NP |
- **Select classifications** for Soil "F" based on AASHTO.
- **Select classifications** for Soil "G" based on AASHTO.
### (c) USCS Classification:
The USCS soil classification is detailed here, indicating a combination of sieve analysis and soil properties:
| Soil | Percent Passing | | | | | | |
|-------|-----------------|-----|-----------------|----|----|---|---|
| | Gravel | Sand | Fines | Cu | Cc | LL | Ip |
| F | 0 | 64 | 36 | - | - | 30 | 4 |
| G | 6 | 86 | 8 | 13 | 1.7| NP| NP|
- **Select classifications** for Soil "F" based on USCS.
- **Select classifications** for Soil "G" based on USCS.
### Notes:
- **LL:** Liquid Limit
- **Ip:** Plasticity Index
