part (d)
![it's not graded question.
Geotechnical Engineering-1
Q. No 2. A fine grained soil has a liquid limit of 300% and a plastic limit of 55%. The natural
water content of a soil in the field is 80% and the clay content is 60%.
a) Determine the plasticity index, the liquidity index, and the activity?
b) What is the soil state in the field?
c) What is the predominant mineral in this soil?
d) If this soil were under a concrete slab used as a foundation for a building and
water were to seep into it from watering of a lawn, what would you expect to
happen to the foundation?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8bb629d7-8be5-47d1-99da-b2db3163f2af%2Ff443a1ae-75a8-4097-b15b-0d1dd412e935%2F0yzqmi_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
