Question: For the soil A, B, and C in Problem 2.7, find the suitability numbers using Eq. (5.17) and the suitability of these soil for densification

For the soil A, B, and C in Problem 2.7, find the suitability numbers using Eq. (5.17) and the suitability of these soil for densification using vibroflotation method. What are these soil?


Eq. (5.17)

3 1 1 Sy = 1.7 V (Ds0) (D20) (D10)


Problem 2.7.

Figure P2.7 shows the grain-size distribution of four soil A, B, C, and D. The plastic limit and liquid limit of the fines are as follows.

3 1 1 Sy = 1.7 V (Ds0) (D20) (D10)

Describe the four soil and give their USCS symbols.


Figure P2.7

3 1 1 Sy = 1.7 V (Ds0) (D20) (D10)
