Appendix B The Unified Soil Classification System
Unified soil Classification System B-1Appendix BThe Unified soil Classification SystemThe adoption of the principles of soil mechanics by the engineeringprofession has inspired numerous attempts to devise a simpleclassification System that will tell the engineer the properties of a givensoil. As a consequence, many classifications have come into existencebased on certain properties of soils such as texture, plasticity, strength,and other characteristics. A few Classification systems have gained fairlywide acceptance, but rarely has any System provided the completeinformation on a soil that the engineer needs. Nearly every engineer whopractices soil mechanics will add judgment and personal experience asmodifiers to whatever soil Classification System he uses.
