The sample soil from a barangay in Baguio City was used in laboratory test to identify the requests of the client. The client requires classifying the soil according to: (a) USDA textural classification; and Engineering Behavior Classification by (b) AASHTO, and (c) USCS. The results of the two tests are as follows: A. The mechanical analysis test results of a 500g (no waste) sample specimen of the soil is given in the table below. Opening Diameter ASTM Mass of Soil ASTM Opening Diameter Mass of Soil Sieve No. Retained, g Sieve No. Retained, g 500 um 1 mm 2 um 6 um 20 μη 75 μη 250 um 35 150 18 130 10 10 2.0 mm 65 200 35 4.75 mm 20 60 40 45 3/4 in 19.0 mm 5 425 µm 25 2 in 50.80 m B.
