Soil profile
Soil profile
(OP)
Hi, everyone
Soil investigation, soil profile is very important. what is the determine boundary between major soil layers and sublayer based on? Based on boring log, moisture content, unit weight, liquid limit, particle-size analysis , etc...I don't understand to divide soil layers and sublayer in soil profile. Everyone can help me!

Consider SM (silty sand): One may be fine to coarse and the other fine grained. One may have elastic silt fines and the other non-plactic fines. They'd be different layers, eh?
Alternatly you may have silty sand with 49 percent passing the #200 sieve and elastic silt fines and another sample of sandy fat clay with 51 percent passing, just on the other side of the "A" line. The laboratory would give these two differnt classifications, but the geology would indicate that they are really both from the same layer.
There is no universal answer.
