USCS / AASHTO Soil Class

Classify soil using USCS (ASTM D2487) and AASHTO M145, with Cu, Cc, plasticity index and group index.

Inputs

PI = LL − PL auto.
Logic
  • USCS: ASTM D2487 — coarse vs fine grained based on % passing #200.
  • Cu = D60/D10, Cc = D30² / (D60·D10).
  • Plasticity chart line A: PI = 0.73·(LL − 20).
  • AASHTO M145: A-1 / A-2 / A-3 / A-4 / A-5 / A-6 / A-7 with group index (GI).
