Soil B
LL = 45 %, PI = 20 %, Colour = brown
By grain size distribution curve: D10 = 0.0015, D30 = 0.01, D60 = 0.07, Cc = 0.95, Cu = 47.
Therefore, soil is poorly graded.
Casagrande’s plasticity chart: inorganic clay and low-medium plasticity (CL).
By grain size distribution curve: 40% sand, 40% silt, some clay.
Full description: CL. Inorganic clay with low-medium plasticity. Poorly graded soil with 40%
sand, 40% silt with some clay and a brown colour.
Soil C
LL = 55 %, PI = 30 %, Colour = redbrown
Insufficient enough information to calculate D10, D30 and D60.
Casagrande’s plasticity chart: inorganic clay and medium-high plasticity (CH) (above A-line).
By grain size distribution curve: 20% gravel, 40% sand. Gap graded.
Full description: SC. Clayey sand with medium-high plasticity. 20% gravel and 40% sand. Soil
gap graded with a redbrown colour.
Soil D
LL = 55 %, PI = 20 %, Colour = grey
Insufficient enough information to calculate D10, D30 and D60.
Casagrande’s plasticity chart: inorganic silt and medium-high plasticity (MH) (below A-line).
By grain size distribution curve: 40% gravel, 30% sand, 30 % fine grained soil. Gap graded.
Full description: GM. Silty gravels with medium-high plasticity. 40% gravel, 30% sand and
30% fine grained soil. Soil gap graded with a grey colour.

Soil E
LL = NP, PI = -- , Colour = grey
By grain size distribution curve: D10 = 0.17, D30 = 0.8, D60 = 3.5, Cc = 1.1, Cu = 4.4. Therefore,
well graded (Cu > 4 and 1 < Cc < 3 for gravels). 50% gravel, 40% sand, 10% fine grained soil.
Casagrande’s plasticity chart: does not apply for coarse grained soil.
Full description: GW. Well graded soil with mostly gravel, some sand and traces of fine
grained soil. Grey in colour.
