Question: Given the following data, use the attached design charts ( Figures 3 8 and 3 9 ) to select a trial cement content as required

Given the following data, use the attached design charts (Figures 38 and 39) to select a trial cement content as required by PCA Shortcut Method B.
Soil Description: SAND, gravelly, some silt, trace of clay, dark brown
\table[[Grain Size Distribution,\table[[Equivalent Imperial],[Sieve Size]]],[Sieve Size (mm),% Passing],[5.00,90,No.10 sieve],[2.00,85,],[0.315,62,],[0.160,42,],[0.080,34,],[0.050,30,]]
Determine batch quantities of aggregate and -5.0mm), cement and water required to carry out a moisture-density test.
Assume that a sample size of 2500g(mass of oven-dry aggregate and cement) will be required for each individual specimen.
Use moisture contents of 4,6,8,10 and 12%.
\table[[Hygroscopic moisture content of -5.0mm material =,2.5%
Given the following data, use the attached design
