Purpose
Arrange various types of soils into groups according to their engineering or various other characteristics.
Soil possessing similar characteristics can be placed in the same group.

PARTICLE SIZE CLASSIFICATION

Soils arranged according to grain sizes.Terms such as gravel, sand, silt and clay are used to indicate grain sizes.These terms are used only as designation of particle sizes.They do not signify naturally occurring soil types.Naturally occurring soil are mixture of particles of different sizes.

TEXTURAL CLASSIFICATION

Soil classification of composite soils exclusively based on Particle Size Distribution.Most popular is the Triangular Classification of U.S. Public Roads Administration.Classification based on % of sand, silt and clay size.More suitable for describing coarse grained soil.Clay soil properties are less dependent on particle size distribution.

Based on both particle-size composition as well as plasticity characteristics.Mostly used for pavement construction.7 primary groups (A-1, A-2,…., A-7).
A-1 subdivided into 2 subgroups.
A-2 subdivided into 4 subgroups.
Introduction

Used to describe performance of soil when used for pavement construction.Not used to place a soil in a particular group.
It means rating the value of soil as a subgrade material
within its own group.
Higher the value of GI, poorer is the quality of material.
Group Index (GI)
![Page 14: Classification of soil](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062522/5882d09d1a28abf8388b5c0b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Group Index of a soil depends on:
1. Amount of material passing 75 micron IS sieve.
2. Liquid Limit.
3. Plastic Limit.

IntroductionBased on USCS systemModifications are:
Fine grained soils subdivided into 3 groups (low, intermediate and high plasticity) as against two groups(low and high) in USCS.
wL <35=L, 35<wL <5o=I, wL >50=H
Thus, soil classified into 18 groups as against 15 in USCS. 19

Plasticity Chart
High Plasticity use H - wL >50
Intermediate Plasticity use I – 35< wL >50
Low Plasticity use L - wL <35
Below A-line, use M (Silt) or O (Organic)
Above A-line, use C - Clay
