What is the difference between soil moisture and groundwater? Soil moisture is just another name for groundwater O Soil moisture is below the water table Soil moisture is above the water table O Soil moisture keeps gaining steams flowing

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING: The following measurements were made when a plastic limit test was done and the diameter of the crumbled threads were 1/8 in (3mm). Calculate the plasticity index of the soil.   Mass (g) Empty can 65  Can + Moist Soil 92  Can + Dry Soil 88

For this problem, I need help understanding the data I am supposed to use to graph the needed graphs for this question and how these graphs are supposed to look.

The following table shows the lab results of a sieve analysis and Atterberg limits for an inorganic soil sample. The Grain Size graph is attached. What is the soil USCS Designation symbol?

Use the USDA soil classification triangle to determine the textural soil class designations with the distributions of particle sizes shown in the table (unit is mm).

What is dry unit weight of the soil sample below (ya) in Ib/ft ? The combined weight of a mold and the compacted soil sample is 8.8 lb The mold's volume is 1/30 ft3 The mold's weight is 5 lb The soil sample's water content is 14% Please ROUND to the nearest Thousandth (i.e., 0.001). Enter only numbers (Do not enter units!). Answer:

How does soil sample is classified as loam and clay loam?
