Plasticity chart
Give typical names: indicate ap-proximate percentages of sand and gravel: maximum size: angularity, surface condition, and hardness of the coarse grains: local or geological name and other pertinent descriptive information and symbol in parentheses.
For undisturbed soils add infor-mation on stratification, degree of compactness, cementation, moisture conditions and drain-age characteristics.
Example:
Well graded gravels, gravel-sand mixtures, little or no fines
Poorly graded gravels, gravel-sand mixtures, little or no fines
Silty gravels, poorly
graded gravel-sand-silt mixtures Clayey gravels, poorly graded gravel-sand-clay mixtures Well graded sands, gravelly sands, little or no fines Poorly graded sands, gravelly sands, little or no fines Silty sands, poorly graded sand-silt mixtures GW GP GM GC SW SP SM Wide range of grain size and substantial amounts of all intermediate particle sizes
