Based on the USDA classification scheme, determine the textural class of a soil that is 10% clay and 30% sand.
Answer:-
Given
clay = 10%
sand = 30%
then silt = 100-(10 + 30 ) = 60 %
From chart
We can see that
when sand = 30%
caly = 10% and silt = 60%
then textural class of soil = silty loam

1. Given the following soil profile. Determine the effective overburden pressure, po at the mid- height of the compressible clay layer. Note the water table. The clay layer has an initial void ratio in situ of 1.026. At a later date a footing load is imposed on the surface of the soil, resulting in a final void ratio of 0.955. Determine the estimated primary settlement of the structure supporting this load, due to compression of the clay layer. Indicate your...
