sample,  what  is  the  (a)  percentage  of  gravel, (b)  percentage  of  sand,  (c)percentage  of  fines, and  (d)  the  USCS  classification? Q5. For a certain soil sample, assume that 60 percent of  the  material  passes  the  No.  200  sieve,  that there is no indication that the material contains organic matter and that Atterberg limits testing has been performed Figure 16-11 is the partially completed record entries for the Atterberg limits determination. Based on this information and using  the  plasticity  chart  shown  in  figure  16-3, what is the (a) liquid limit, (b) plasticity index, and  (c)  USCS  classification  of  the  soil  sample? Q6. Which of the following field tests can be used to approximate   the   cohesive   and   plastic characteristics of a soil sample? 1.  Dry  strength 2.   Ribbon 3.   Roll 4.  Each  of  the  above 16-23
