Mechanical analysis on four different samples designated as A, B, Cand Dwere carried out in a soil laboratory. The results of tests are given below. Hydrometer analysis was carried out on sample D. The soil is non-plastic. Sample D. liquid limit = 42. plastic limit = 24. plasticity index = 18 Classify the soils per the Unified Soil Classification System.
