Question

Step1. Pick a 500 foot by 500 foot section on the TAMUK campus to select an area of interest and print a soil map. Obtain necessary soil data to complete this

exercise. The soil survey can be located at the website: https://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/ Step2. Review the following data to be used in this exercise. Compaction curve for data given in Example 3.2 Dry density Pr (glom) 1.85 1.80 1.75 21.70 165- 160 1.55 1.50 10 12 16 Water content (%) 14 Figure 3.9 Step3. Review the attached specification (The spec. has been uploaded in blackboard) Problem Statement: With the lab results given in Step 2, does the soil in your area of interest meet the attached specifications if the nuclear density gauge reading showed a dry density value of 1.7542 g/cm³? Explain your conclusions.
