Abstract

The UNIFIED and AASHTO systems are used in engineering to classify soils for specific purposes. To facilitate use of the soil surveys by engineers, it has been customary to interpret soil survey mapping units in terms of these engineering classification systems. The procedure, however, is often difficult to follow and normally time-consuming. When used in combination with pedotechnical setting sheets, interpretation sheets reduce this time element and provide for more effective use of the soil survey information. This paper demonstrates development and application of the interpretation sheets. Key words: Engineering soil classification, pedotechnical interpretations, UNIFIED, AASHTO, soil engineering
