Resource for common soil index properties 2

TJB0012 · Nov 8, 2016

Greetings all,

I have been scouring through resources trying to find a comprehensive list of common soil index properties for various different types of soils that I can have on hand and reference when I need to run some quick calculations. Ideally, I would like to see a list of all common soils with respective unit weights (dry, moist, saturated) with respect to density/consistency, as well as friction angle, cohesion, etc.

Have any of you come across something as complete as this?

Thanks!

Check out the "Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables" by Burt Look. You should be able to located a free PDF version online.

Any soil mechanics book will have typical information for soil properties, but if you want something quick, look at this link:

USACE and NAVFAC manuals include also lots of useful information.
