Soil engineering for highway design

Soil engineering is a part of geotechnical engineering that deals with the characteristics of soil. It also helps to understand the behavior of the soil in different conditions. The basic concepts of soil are studied to check the strength, compressibility, and porosity of the soil. This makes soil engineering an important topic for civil engineering.

Question

Classify the given soil to be used as highway subgrade material by using the
AASHTO method.
Sieve Analysis (% Finer)
No. 10 sieve = 100%
No. 40 sieve = 72%
No. 200 sieve = 39%
Plasticity of fraction passing No. 40 sieve
Liquid Limit = 44
Plasticity Index = 24
