Atterberg Limit

The document provides the results of various soil tests, including liquid limit tests, plastic limit tests, and sieve analyses, for 10 soil samples. It analyzes each sample to determine classifications including group name and symbol based on the Unified Soil Classification System. Key details identified for each sample include percent passing various sieves, liquid limit, plastic limit, and distribution of gravel, sand, and fines. Soil types identified include sandy silty clay, fat clay with sand, sandy lean clay, and others. Diagrams are provided to plot the samples on classification charts.
