Give one or two possible identifications for each of the following. Provide a group symbol and descriptive name for each. It is not necessary to distinguish well-graded from poorly graded soils: 4. The samllest particles in the soil can be individually lifted between two fingers, the largest with the whole hand.

Give one or two possible identifications for each of the following. Provide a group symbol and descriptive name for each. It is not necessary to distinguish well-graded from poorly graded soils: 1. All of the soil particles are visible. Some of the particles are large enough to be picked up individually, but most are not.
A proposed embankment fill required 8000 m3 of compacted soil. The void ratio of the compacted fill is specified to be 0.6. Four available borrow pits are shown below along with the void ratios of the soil and the cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site. Make the necessary calculations to select the pit from which the soil should be brought to minimize the cost. Assume Gs to be the same for all borrow-pit soil.
