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.

Hope you can help me with this problem ?
1) What does the fineness modulus mean? What does it tells you about the sand?
How can I describe this sample of soil with this information: "Big portion of cobbles, minor clay, 15% sand, 25% gravel, wet, no organics, dark gray, N-value of 60"
A sample of soil is extracted from a depth of 5 meters at a site and taken to the lab for testing. The soil is sieved: (1) the soil contains no sand, and (2) the fines content is 52%. The Atterberg limits for the finer fraction of the soil are then found to be 80 and 50. Classify the soil (provide the group symbol only).
