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.
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: 2. When dry, the soil seems to be a dusty sand. When wetted, it is still gritty like sand, but the soil stichs to gether in a ball if compressed in the 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: 6. The soil smells musty and is very dark in color. It seems to spring back slightly after being compressed in the 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: 3. No individual soil particles are discernible by eye, but the soil came out of the ground in hard chunks. When a small sample is wetted, it becomes a stichky paste that can easily be molded into shapes
