The granulometer curves of soils A, B and C are given below. Liquid limit value of floor A is 62%, plastic limit value is 42%; The liquid limit value of the B floor is 56%, the plastic limit value is 30%; The liquid limit value of the C floor was determined as 38% and the plastic limit value was determined as 18%. a) Determine the clay, silt, sand and gravel contents of soils A, B and C. Calculate the curvature and uniformity coefficients of the C floor. b) Determine the USCS (Unified soil classification system) soil classes of A, B and C soils. 20 61 grain diameter (mm) by weight (%)
