Figure  16-9.—Sieve  analysis  data. Q2. Q3. Q4. Is it true or false that surveys made in support of pedology concern the locations of the limits of sand  or  gravel  deposits  suitable  for  use  as construction materials? Structures must be constructed at an elevation that will ensure that they will not be adversely affected   by   the   groundwater   table.   If   the proposed grade line lies below the elevation of the groundwater line, you may have to 1.  change  the  location 2.  lower  the  groundwater  table  by  means  of artificial  drainage  systems 3.  raise  the  proposed  grade 4. do either 2 or 3 above, depending upon land characteristics From the sieve analysis data shown in figure 16-9,  determine  and  plot  the  grain  size distribution  using  figure  16-10.  For  this  soil Figure 16-10.—Grain size distribution graph. 16-21
