AVERAGE SPECIFIC GRAVITY =1.794

CONCLUSION:
THE MORE WEIGTH OF SOIL WE USE THE MORE SECIFIC GRAVITY WE GET.

CONCLUSION:
THEREFORE I CONCLUDE THAT BASE ON OUR LABORATORY OUR SOIL SAMPLE IS CONSIST OF 49.22%
GRAVEL AND BASED ON AASHTO CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM OUR SOIL IS UNDER A-1-B(STONE FRAGMENTS
GRAVEL AND SAND).
