Soil Mechanics: Soil Classification (USCS)

Excel Spreadsheet: #soilmechanics #USCS #unified #soil #classification #System :

The Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is a standardized method for categorizing soils based on their physical and engineering properties. It classifies soils into coarse-grained and fine-grained categories, further subdividing them based on grain size distribution, plasticity, and other characteristics. The USCS utilizes letters and symbols to represent soil properties, facilitating precise identification and characterization of soil types. Widely used in geotechnical engineering, the USCS aids in site investigation, foundation design, and construction planning by providing insights into soil behavior and properties.
