A line chart for soil classification

Soil Classification Systems 189 A.1.2 The ASTM System An advantage of the Unified system is that it can easily be extended to include more soil groups, giving a finer degree of classification if required. The American Association for Testing and Materials (ASTM 2006) has adopted the Unified system as a basis for the ASTM soil classification, ble 4.2 Unified Soil on Material Sieve) criteria symbols Clean Gravels Gravels With Fines than Less than 5% tines* wath More than fines "4 Organic Soils More of Fine-crained soils No. sieve More than coarse passes No. 4 Clays 50 Silts and Clays Liquid 30 "A" line "A" 'Fig 4.2) 4 below "A" (Figu.e 4.2) PI 7 on line (Figure 4_2) Unified Soil Classification System B-1 Appendix B The Unified Soil Classification System PI plot below the “A” line on the plasticity chart and is clay if the LL and PI plot above the “A” line on the chart (all LL and PL tests are based on minus No. 40 sieve fraction of a soil).

Unified Soil Classification  Mar 3, 2019 The graph above, specified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is used to turn the percentages into a soil description. Other graphs are used to  classification of soils based on the plasticity index and gradation. 1.2 Units of plasticity chart. Above 'A' line and hatched zone on plasticity chart. Limits plot. 1. OBJECT. Soil classification is a very important part of the identification process necessary for the It is often difficult to clearly distinguish the boundary line between rock and soil. From (ii) Classification on the basis of plasticity chart. therefore, the plasticity characteristics of a particular soil can be represented by a point on the chart. Classification letters are allotted to the soil according to the zone within which the point lies. The chart is divided into two ranges of liquid limit, low (L) and high (H). The A-line may be mathematically repre-sented by Equation 1.5:

Unified Soil Classification System B-1 Appendix B The Unified Soil Classification System PI plot below the “A” line on the plasticity chart and is clay if the LL and PI plot above the “A” line on the chart (all LL and PL tests are based on minus No. 40 sieve fraction of a soil). The foregoing definition holds for inorganic If the soil has 5–12% by weight of fines passing a #200 sieve (5% < P #200 < 12%), both grain size distribution and plasticity have a significant effect on the engineering properties of the soil, and dual notation may be used for the group symbol. Plasticity Chart: Plasticity chart is used to classify fine grained soils figure 3.18 shows a plasticity chart. A line on the plasticity chart has the following linear equations: I P =0.73 (W L-20) Inorganic clays lie above the A-line. Inorganic silts and organic soils lie below the A-line.

Easiest Way is to use the Use USCS chart Step 1: Classify Soil A: use the USCS Flow chart to find classification: Since 51% passing #200 sieve that is > 50 Fine-grained soil LL is 35 which is < 50 follow the top row of chart no organic odor or color follow the inorganic
