2. Soil Classification (Sieve Analysis)
 3. Specific Gravity
Data:
Temperature = 35°C
k@ 35°C = 0.99582
M1 (Mass of R.D bottle filled with water) = 83.54 gm
M2 (Mass of R.D bottle containing soil mixture) = 97.32 gm
M3 (Mass of dry soil) = 25 gm

Gs =k
( M3
M 3−( M 2−M 1 ) )
Gs =0.99582×
( 25−( 97.32−83.54
25
))

[ Gs =2.22 ]
 4. Plasticity Index
As it can be observed from the attached pictures that we were able to
make the balls to some level but when we tried to make thread out of it, it
crumbles, and we were not able to perform any test and this shows that the soil
is sandy and Plastic Limit and Liquid Limit are considered ‘0’.
Hence Plasticity Index is zero
