Question: Using the Unified Soil Classification System, classify the soils with the following characteristics: a . Soil # 1 : 5 5 % passes the #

Using the Unified Soil Classification System, classify the soils with the following characteristics:
a. Soil #1:
55% passes the # 4 Sieve
Cu=2,Cc=1.5
15% fines
Properties of Fines: ?PI=40,LL=40
b. Soil #2:
75% passes the #200 Sieve
LL=20,PI =15
c. Soil #3:
80% retained on the #200 Sieve
60% retained on the # 4 Sieve
Cu=2,Cc=1.5
3% fines, Properties of Fines: ?PI=37,LL=55
d. Soil #4:
65% passes the #200 sieve
LL=70,PI =20
e. Soil #5
35% retained on the #4 Sieve
14% fines
Properties of fines: LL=30,PI=20
Using the Unified Soil Classification System,
