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:

Read the question carefully and give me both a&b right solutions. A proctor compaction test in the laboratory on a borrow pit soil gives maximum unit weight of 19 kN/m3 and optimum water content of 11.5%. The bulk unit weight and water content of the soil in the borrow pit are 17.2 kN/m3 and 8.2%, respectively. A highway fill is to be constructed using this soil. The specifications require the fill to be compacted to 95% Proctor compaction. (a) What is the additional weight of water per unit volume required to bring the moisture content to the optimum value to achieve 95% Proctor compaction? (b) How many truckloads of borrow pit soil will be required for a 100,000 m3 highway embankment - assuming each truck has a capacity of 10 m3 ?
The soil at a borrow area is at moisture content of 8.5%and unit weight of 17.5 kN/m3. This soil is used in the construction of a compacted road base where the dry unitweight is 19.5 kN/m3 and the moisture content is 14.0%. Ifthe finished volume of the road base is 120,000 m3, whatwould be the volume of the soil removed from the borrowpit? How much water would be added to the soil from theborrow pit?
Your company has won a contract to provide and compact the fill material for an earth levee (an embankment built to prevent overflow of a river), with the dimensions shown below. The levee fill is a silty clay soil to be compacted to atleast 95.1% of maximum standard Proctor of dry unit weight= 109lb/cu.ft at an OMC of 18.6%. Your borrow pit has a silty clay with an in-situ moist density of 112.6lb/cu.ft at 18.1% water content and a Gs = 2.679. When the soil is excavated and loaded on to your trucks, the void ratio of the material is e = 1.46. Your trucks can haul 401 cu.ft of material per trip. DETERMINE THE FF AND SHOW COMPELETE SOLUTION. ALL FINAL ANSWER WILL BE IN 3 DECIMAL PLACES. 1. Determine the volume of fill required for the levee in cu.ft 2. Determine the volume required from the borrow pit in cu.ft 3. Determine the required number of truck loads.

Q2/ For proposed Earth Dam fill, the soil will be compact to (95%) of standard proctor dry density. The test of borrow area indicate that (ydmax = 18 kN/m3) at optimum moisture content (11%). The soil of borrow area at natural condition has (e = 0.65) and (Gs = 2.68). Determine the minimum volume ofborrowrequired to make (600,000 m3 ) of acceptable compacted fill.
4. Specifications require that a fill using borrow soil to be compacted at 95% of its standard proctor maximum dry density. Tests indicate that this maxi- mum is 19.5 kilo Newtons per cubic meter with 12 % moisture. The borrow material has a void ratio of 0.60. Compute the minimum dry and wet unit weight of the compacted soil, compute also the minimum volume of borrow material required to fill 1 cubic meter when compacted. Note: Assume a logical value of Gs with at least 4 significant figures.
