You are a soil scientist that has been contracted to consult on a single house-building project. This house will be built on a moderate slope in southern California. Tests show that the fine-grained, clay-rich soil has an average liquid limit of 40 and a plasticity index of 30. Determine the Atterberg Limit Classification and hypothesize about the soil's general characteristics (strength, sensitivity, compressibility, erodibility, hydraulic conductivity, ease of excavation, and shrink-swell potential). Use your evaluation to make site recommendations with respect to the building of structures and landscaping. Suggest at least five site practices to overcome, avoid, or reduce potential problems
