Soil Classification as per IS
- Sand is said to be well-graded if the uniformity coefficient (Cu) is greater than 6 and the coefficient of curvature (CC) lies in between 1 to 3
- Gravel is said to be well-graded if the uniformity coefficient (CU) is greater than 4 and the coefficient of curvature (CC) lies in between 1 to 3.
Calculation:
In this case, our soil is sand and it is given as CU > 6, and CC lies in between 1
and 3 so it is well-graded sand or SW.
