Soil Suitability: Index Properties, Distribution, Analysis and Stokes’ Law

Index Properties: In order to evaluate the suitability of a soil for use as foundation or construction material, certain physical properties have to be determined. These properties help to classify the soil and assess its engineering behaviour and are called index properties. There are different soil classification systems based on index properties of the soil. The tests carried out in [...]

Comparison: AASHTO & Unifical Soil Classification System | Soil Engineering

Learn about the comparison between AASHTO and unifical soil classification system. Comparison # AASHTO Classification System: American Association of State Highway and Transport Officials (AASHTO) soil classification system is based on both the particle size and the plasticity characteristics. According to this system, soils are classified into eight groups A-1 to A-8, the last being peat or muck. Soils within [...]
