    This document contains the solutions to 4 soil classification problems. For Problem 1, a soil with 20% gravel, 10% sand, 30% silt, and 40% clay is classified as clay according to the USDA textural classification system. For Problem 2, soils A, B, and C are classified as SW sand, SC clayey sand, and CL lean clay respectively using the USCS method based on sieve analysis data. For Problem 3, soils A, B, and C are classified using the AASHTO system as A-2-6, A-2-7, and A-7-6 respectively. For Problem 4, soil A is classified as SW sand and soil B as either SM silty

    PROBLEM NO: 1

    1) A soil has the following particle-size distribution:


    Gravel = 20%
    Sand = 10%
    Silt = 30%
    Clay = 40%
    Classify the soil according to USDA textural classification system.

    SOLUTION:

    1.) Modified % Sand = %sand/(100%-%gravel) = 10%/(100%-20%) = 12.5%


    2.) Modified % Silt = %silt/(100%-%gravel) = 30%/(100%-20%) = 37.5%
    3.) Modified % Clay = %clay/(100%-%gravel) = 10%/(100%-20%) = 50%

    The classification for the soil sample is Clay.
