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

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING:

The resuts of a sieve analysis for a soil sample are given in the Table. C_c = 0.5 and C_u = 5. If the LL and the PL of the soil sample are 55 and 40 respectively, classify the soil according to USCS classification.

Sieve Opening (mm)	% passing
