This document contains questions about classifying soils according to different classification systems, determining the objectives of soil exploration, and planning a soil investigation for constructing a building. It asks to classify three soils based on their particle size composition, list the objectives of soil exploration, and determine the number and depth of boreholes, suitable boring methods, and sampling tools needed for a soil investigation to construct a 40x30 meter, 10-floor building with expected cohesive soil conditions.

5. Classify the following soils according to M.I.T and Triangular
classification:
% Gravel Sand Silt Clay
Soil A --- 30 30 40 Soil B --- 60 30 10 Soil C 20 40 30 10
1. What are the objectives of soil exploration?
2. It is required to construct a building 40x30 m2, consists of 10 floors in
Mansoura city (Cohesive soil is expected). Determine the following; Expected number of boreholes and their depth. Methods can be used in soil borings. Tools can be used for sampling.
