Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.2CTP

Refer to Problem 2.C.1. Results of the sieve analysis for Soils A, B, and C are given below. To obtain a more representative sample for further geotechnical testing, a ternary blend is created by uniformly mixing 8000 kg of each soil. Answer the following questions.

Chapter 2, Problem 2.2CTP, Refer to Problem 2.C.1. Results of the sieve analysis for Soils A, B, and C are given below. To

a. If a sieve analysis is conducted on the mixture using the same set of sieves as shown above, compute the mass retained (as a percentage) and cumulative percent passing in each sieve.

b. What would be the uniformity coefficient (Cu) and the coefficient of gradation (Cc) of the mixture?
