Effect of gradation of soil with depthy
Effect of gradation of soil with depthy
(OP)
Somebody told me that with the increase in depth the gradation of soil will change. that is at the surface level generally the soil is poorly graded but when we go deeper the soil will be well graded... is it correct??? if so,then what may be the reason behind it??





RE: Effect of gradation of soil with depthy
As an example, in stratified coastal plains soils, it is common to see fine sands at the surface, fine grained soils below the surface (clays and silts), medium sands interspersed and various layers of each.
If you could predict soil gradation with depth, geotechnical engineering would be simplified greatly! Not so.

Other fluvial deposits are not as "predictable." (consider deltaic deposits for example.)
