It canbe carried out by either field examination or laboratory APPARATUSS ieves, 75 mm, mm (ASTM No 4), mm (ASTM No 10), mm aperture (ASTM No40). Unified soil Classification System : Field Method2 PROCEDUREF ield Classification Technique for Coarse-Grained Soils1.
For this substantial number of soils, boundary classifications are used i.e. the groups symbols most nearly describing the soil are connected by a hyphen, such as GW-GC. Proper boundary classification of a soil near the borderline between coarse-grained and fine-grained soils is accomplished by classifying it first as a coarse-grained soil and ...
