QUESTION 2
A client has sent 100kg of gravel material to your laboratory and requested tests to determine its suitability for use in construction. Tables 1 present the laboratory test results on the Sieve Analysis and Atterberg limits (Liquid Limit and Plastic Limit).
Table 1: Sieve analysis and Atterberg limits
\table[[Total mass of sample: 3510.5(g)],[Sieve Size (mm),Individual Mass Retained (g)],[63,0],[50,56.2],[28,350.8],[20,530.4],[14,362.1],[5,{:622.2:}],[2,295.4],[0.425,884.5],[0.075,201.4],[,\table[[rg limits],[imit =20],[imit =11]]]]
2.1. Determine the cumulative percentage passing of the material in Table 1.

2.2. Refer to the results obtained in Question 2.1.(Sieve analysis) to plot the grain size distribution curve. Use the graph given in Annexure 1 and determine D60,D30 and D10.
2.3. Calculate the uniformity coefficient Cu, and coefficient of gradation Cc.
