316· The general rating as subgrade for Groups A1, A3, and A2 is excellent to good, while that for A4, A5, A6, and A7 is often fair to poor. If you are interested in the classification of soil for engineering Soil Classification Systems Wiley Online Library,Soil Classification Systems 189 A.1.2 The ASTM System An advantage of the Unified system is that it can easily be extended to include more soil groups, giving a finer degree of classification if required.

Sivakugan (2000) 6/11 3.4 SOIL CLASSIFICATION A soil classification system is a universal language which all the geotechnical engineers understand, where soils of similar behaviour are grouped together, and systematic and rational ways are proposed to classify and describe them. The use of such standard and
The USCS has three major classification groups: (1) coarsegrained soils (e.g. sands and gravels ); (2) finegrained soils (e.g. silts and clays ); and (3) highly organic soils (referred to as "peat"). The USCS further subdivides Horizontal Soil Subgrade Reaction in Pile Foundations,Based on the derived response of a pile (short, intermediate or long), the type of soil and whether the pile is defined as freehead or fixedhead, Broms (1964) categorized certain cases regarding the subgrade reaction and the developed bending moment. These cases are analyzed below. Short Piles

The modulus of subgrade reaction ks (also called the coefficient of subgrade reaction of soil) is the ratio of the pressure against a flat surface on soil and the settlement at that point. Mathematically, this is expressed as; ks = q/δ —— (1) Where; ks = Coefficient of subgrade reaction expressed in force/length 2 /length.
830· According to Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), the dominant soils along the highway stretch considered are positioned into inorganic silts or organic clays (MH or OH), inorganic clays (CL), inorganic silts or organic silts (ML & OL), and combinations of the two (CL–ML). Fig. 3Chapter 3 Soil Classification Geoengineer,The AASHTO (American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials) classification system is quite popular in road works, where the soils are grouped according to their suitability as subgrade or embankment materials. In Australia, AS 17261993 is being used in most geotechnical works.
Preliminary tests indicate that the natural samples were wellgraded and rated medium as subgrade material in road construction. Reduction in the plasticity index (PI) of samples from 17 to 14%.Chapter 3 Engineering Classification of Earth Materials,Soils—Unconsolidated, unindurated, or slightly indu rated, loosely compacted products of disintegration and decomposition processes of weathering Earth materials—Soil or rock. Grain—A rock or mineral particle. Gradation—Relative size distribution of particles Well graded—No sizes lacking or no excess of any size range, poorly sorted.
