[GEO-2025-0113] – By Dr. Ahmad Fahmi

We are excited to present the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) spreadsheet pack for sand examples, part of the Geotechnical Excel Spreadsheets (2025-1) collection. This set includes 20 powerful spreadsheets that guide you through soil classification using the USCS method. The pack includes practical sand soil classification examples, providing detailed data entry and analysis for sieve analysis and Atterberg limits testing, crucial for geotechnical investigations and foundation design.

What’s Included in the 20 Spreadsheets?

  1. DATA: Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) – Five data series including sieve analysis and Atterberg limits.
  2. Data Form: Data form for sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests.
  3. Analysis Sheet-Empty: Soil classification analysis sheet for USCS, based on sieve analysis and Atterberg limits data.
  4. USCS: USCS process table for soil classification.
  5. Examples: Example table showing five sand soil classification examples.
  6. Example 1: Example for SW: Well Graded Sand.
