Determine the following quantities of each soil: the effective particle size dio, the mean particle side d50, the coefficients of uniformity and curvature (if possible). (2) According to the particle size distribution, when the engineering properties are concerned, which soil is the most sensitive to water and which soil is mostly affected by density? Give you logic. (3) Classify the soils according to the USCS.
659, The Lexington Sand and Gravel Company has made a bid to supply sand for Laramie's new sand filter. The request for bids stipulated that the sand have an effective size in the range 0.35 to 0.55 mm and a uniformity coef- ficient in the range 1.3 to 1.7. Lexington supplied the following sieve analysis (sample size = 500.00 g) as evidence that its sand will meet the

1. Describe the factors influencing soil permeability and the methods used to determine permeability in laboratory and field settings?
. How is the specific gravity of soil particles calculated from the results of the specific gravity test, and what does it reveal about soil composition?
Analyze each statement (A and B) whether they are true or false. Use the choices below in answering each item; A statement A is true B statement B is true C both A and B are true D neither A nor B are true (A) As the soil becomes compacted, both bulk density and particle density increase. (B) Porosity is inversely proportional to bulk density, meaning as bulk density increases percent porosity decreases, and vice versa.
