1.identification classification of soil

This document presents a presentation on identifying and classifying soils according to the Unified Soil Classification System. It begins by outlining the objectives and test standards. It then describes the process of first identifying soils as coarse-grained or fine-grained based on particle size and visibility. For coarse-grained soils, it details how to further classify them as sandy or gravelly soils. For fine-grained soils, it explains using dispersion, dilatancy, plasticity, dry strength, and organic tests to classify them as inorganic or organic silts/clays. Primary group symbols are assigned based on liquid limit and field/laboratory test behaviors.

Objectives The test is Standardized in ASTM D 2487 as Unified Soil Classification System. Test Standard The classification of soils is based on a combination of visual observation and laboratory tests. This system needs to be comprehensive, while still being reasonable, systematic and concise.
STEP-1 (IDENTIFYING AS COARSE GRAINED SOIL OR FINE GRAINED SOIL) Soil Sample Fine grained soil Coarse grained soil Naked eye visibility>50% Size :-particle size within76mm to 0.075mm Naked eye visibility<50% Size :- particle size less than 0.075mm
Naming Convention Primary Letter Soil compone nt Size & Description G Gravel Coarse:75mm-19mm Fine:19mm-4.75mm S Sand Coarse:4.75mm-2.0mm, Medium: 2.0mm-425亮m, Fine: 425亮m -75亮m M Silt Particles smaller than 75亮m, identified by plasticity C Clay Particles smaller than 75亮m, identified by plasticity O Organic Metter Organic matter in various size & stages of decomposition Pt Peat Highly organic soils Secondary Letter Description W Well graded P Poorly graded M Non- plastic fines i.e. silt C Plastics fines i.e. clay L Low plasticity, WLL< 50% H High plasticity, WLL>50%
STEP-2 (CLASSIFYING COARSE GRAINED SOIL) Coarse Grained Soil Sandy soil Gravelly soil GPGW Dust Gravel Fines>12% Clean Gravel Fines<5% Dust sand Fines>12% Clean sand Fines<5% GM SPSW SCSM GC
STEP-3 (CLASSIFYING FINE GRAINED SOIL) Fine Grained Soil Organic Soil Inorganic soil Dispersion Test Shaking or Dilatency Test Plasticity Test Dry Strength Test Presence of organic matter Dark Gray to Black Color Oder of Decaying vegetation More compressible
Primary division Group symbol Description Field criteria Dilatancy Dry strength Plasticity Silts & Clays (Liquid limit less than 50%) ML Inorganic silts of low plasticity Quick to slow None to slight None to slight CL Inorganic clays of low plasticity None to very slow Medium to high Medium to slight OL Organic silts of low plasticity Slow Slight to Medium Slight Silts & Clays (Liquid limit more than 50%) MH Inorganic silts of high plasticity Slow to none Slight to Medium Slight to Medium CH Inorganic clays of high plasticity None High to very high High OH Organic clay of high plasticity None to very slow Medium to high Slight to Medium Highly organic Soils Pt Peat and other highly organic soils Organic color, odor, spongy feels, frequently fibrous.
Test of inorganic soil Test name Performance Observation comments Dispersion Test The soil was allowed to settled in water Most of soil grain was settled within 30sec Sandy Silt Shaking or Dilatency Test A moist soil mass was shaken on palm by tipping Slow Clayey soil Plasticity Test Manipulation of 3mm thread 3mm thread was formed Silty Clay Dry Strength Test A dry 3mm rolled fragment was enforced. A great effort was needed Clay soil
