ClassificationOfSoils en

The document summarizes soil classification results according to ASTM standards. The soil sample contained 36% gravel, 66% sand, and 13% fines passing a No. 200 sieve. Plasticity tests on the fines fraction showed a liquid limit of 60% and plasticity index of 32%, classifying the soil as an inorganic clay of medium plasticity (CL).
