    Can I get a step by step for this question? Using the data presented for the given soil sample, determine the soil classification using the ASTM and the AASHTO Soil classification system. Give the group index if needed. The soil is inorganic soil. Sieve No. 19mm (¾ in.) 12.5mm (1/2in.) No. 4 (4.75 mm) No. 10 (2.00 mm). No. 20 (0.850 mm) No. 40 (0.425 mm) No. 100 (0.150 mm) No. 200 (0.075 mm) Percent Passing 100 83 67 56 54 45 39 36 Cu: 5.5 and Cc: 1.8 Atterberg limits: Liquid limit: 20%, Plasticity Index: 6%.
    Analyze each statement (A and B) whether they are true or false. Use the choices below in answering each item; A statement A is true B statement B is true C both A and B are true D neither A nor B are true (A) As the soil becomes compacted, both bulk density and particle density increase. (B) Porosity is inversely proportional to bulk density, meaning as bulk density increases percent porosity decreases, and vice versa.
