Question: For the data below, classify the soils according to USCS ( ASTM D 2 4 8 7 ) a ) 1 0 0 % material

For the data below, classify the soils according to USCS (ASTM D 2487)a)100% material passing #4 sieve, 25% retained on # 200 sieve. Fines exhibited medium tolow plasticity, no to very slow dilatancy, and medium to high dry strength.b)100% material passing #4 sieve, 90% passed # 200 sieve. Low to medium dry strength,moderately quick dilatancy. LL =23 and PL =17.c)5% material retained on #4 sieve, 70% retained on # 200 sieve. Fines had medium drystrength, no dilatancy, medium toughness. LL =25 and PL =15.
