Question: ( 2 ) Mechanical analysis on four different samples designated as A , B , C and D were carried out in a soil laboratory.

(2) Mechanical analysis on four different samples designated as A, B, C and D were carried out in
a soil laboratory. The results of tests are given below. Hydrometer analysis was carried out on
sample D. The soil is non-plastic. Sample D: liquid limit =42, plastic limit =24, plasticity index
=18. Classify the soils per the Unified Soil Classification System. (20 Marks)2) Mechanical analysis on four different samples designated as A, B, C and D were carried out ina soil laboratory.
