Problem 1 (7 Marks)(CLO1, SO1) The grain size analysis test is performed to determine the percentage of each size of grain that is contained within a soil sample, and the results of the test is shown as below: A. Calculate( in a table) the percent retained and the percent finer through each sieve (Hint: Total weight of the soil sample=sum of retained soil on each sieve) B. . Find the percent of Gravel, % of sand \& % of Fine from the table?? (Hint: Without Drawing) C. . (If D10 =0.017,D30=0.22,D60=0.3 ) Find the coefficient of uniformity \& the coefficient of curvature ? D. If Cc=3&Cu=5,% of Gravel =30%,% of Sand=67%, and % of fine =3%, is the sample soil is well graded or poorly graded? Why?
