What is the relationship between the permeability and the particle size of each soil sample? What is the relationship between soil particle size and porosity?
I am working on a lab report for a sieve analysis that was conducted in the lab. I got that the soil was made up of approximately: 20.5% gravel, 77.8% sand, and 1.7% fines. The values for the coefficient of uniformity (Cu) and coefficient of gradation (Cc) are 10.56 and 0.528 respectively. What does this mean when it comes to engineering design? Would the soil be considered good for building a structure? If so, is there a specific type of structure that would work best with this type of soil?
