Soil Classification - N. Sivakugan (2000) 3/11 When there are smaller and larger grains, but none in an intermediate size range, the soil is known as a gap-graded soil. Typical grain size distribution curves of well graded (soil A), gap graded (soil B) and uniform (soil C) soils are shown in Fig. 3.2. 0 20 40 60 80 100 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 10 100

rdso.indianrailways.gov.inThe Geotechnical Engineers/Agencies had evolved many soil classification systems, over the world. The soil classification system developed by Casegrande was subsequently modified and named as 'Unified Classification’ system. In 1959, Bureau of Indian Standards adopted, the Unified classification system as a standard, which was revised in 1970.
