    1) A soil sample was taken from Bore Hole N1 at a depth of 41.8 meters for testing. 2) The soil was sieved through various sieve sizes to determine particle size distribution, with 39.2% passing through a 0.425mm sieve. 3) The liquid limit of the soil was determined to be 29.4% through a standardized test involving measuring the number of blows required to close a groove in a soil sample.
