## 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
