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:

268 TNT 98 5:21 B/s SITUATION 2 In an experiment of determining the porosity and specific gravity of solids of a soil, a soil is dug out from the ground, weighed, then oven dried, and then saturated with water. The weight of the soil taken from the test hole is 1346 grams. It was then oven dried and weighed 1076 grams. After saturating it with water, it weighed 1462 grams. The volume of the test hole was then measured and found to be 792 сс. Determine the void ratio (in percentage) of the soil sample. Your answer SITUATION 3 A sample of clay soil of volume 1/1000 cubic meter and mass of 1.762 kg, after being dried out in an oven had a mass of 1.368 kg.

You are given the results of index testing (i.e., Atterberg Limits; ASTM D422 and D4318) of two soil samples collected during a recent geotechnical exploration. The index test results are presented in Figure B. The first sample was taken between depths of 1.5 ft to 2.5 ft below the existing ground surface. The second sample was taken between depths of 6.5 ft to 7.5 ft below the existing ground surface. The groundwater table, at the time of the geotechnical exploration, was at a depth of 4.0 ft from the existing ground surface.
