    Unified Soil Classification (Astm D - 2487)

    Uploaded by

    Bart Luceña
    This document provides a summary of the Unified Soil Classification system. It groups soils into categories based on their grain size and plasticity characteristics. The major groups include gravels, sands, silts, and clays. Gravels and sands are further classified based on their grain sizes and fines content. Silts and clays are classified based on their plasticity index and liquid limit values. Organic soils are also identified.
