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

From a given inorganic soil, the following are known:
Percentage passing No. 4 Sieve - 100
%3D
Percentage passing No. 200 Sieve - 77
Liquid Limit - 63
Plasticity Index - 25
Using USCS Method, determine its soil classification.
