Question: If my D 1 0 value is 0 . 0 9 mm , D 3 0 value is 0 . 0 4 1 mm and

If my D10 value is 0.09mm, D30 value is 0.041mm and D60 value is 0.16mm then gind the Cu(uniformity coefficient) and Cc( coefficient of gradation)and answer the following wuestions
1)
this soil considered uniform and/or well-graded? Explain.
2)
Consider the % sand, % silt, and % clay (or fines) according to both the USDA and ASTM classifications. Can you determine a soil texture based on the results above? Does the difference in definitions make much difference? If so, how?
\table[[,% Sand,% Silt,% Clay (or Fines),Soil Texture],[USDA,,,,],[ASTM,,,,]]
3)
What are the limitations of this analysis? Does it do a better job of describing larger or smaller-sized particles? What are the implications of this for a soil high in sands? High in clays?
