In AASHTO classification system, the better performing fine grained soils are the ones with lower group indices. c. In AASHTO classification system, sands are classified as grains with 0.075-4.75 mm diameter. d. The USCS symbol for clayey gravel is CG. e. A soil with USCS symbol SM is sandy silt.
1. The compaction requirement fpr clay soils in traditional applications is 90 to 95 % of maximum drydensity at compaction water contents on both sides of optimum, whereas landfil1 clay linerspecifications normally require 90 to 95% of maximum dry density at compaction water contents onlyon the wet side of optimum water content. Why?
A subsurface exploration report shows that the average water content of a fine-grained soil in a proposed borrow area is 24.5% and that its average natural dry density is 83.3 pcf. This soil is to be placed in a compacted fill with a dry density specified at 95.5 pcf. -How many cubic yards of borrow will be required to produce 86,000 yd3 of fill? -What is the shrinkage factor for the borrow?
