In impervious <br />soils, the aecttrate determination of grannd water elevations may not be possible, even after several <br />days of observations; additional evidence of ground water elevations must be sought. <br />GRADATION DESCRIPTION & TERMINOLOGY: <br />Coarse Grained or Granular Soils have more than 50% of their dry weight retained an a #200 sieve; they <br />are described as: boulders, cobbles, gravel or sand. Fite Grained soils have less than 30% of their dry <br />weight retained on a 0200 sieve; they are described as: clays or clayey silts if they are cohesive and <br />silts it they are non -cohesive. In addition to gradation, granular soils are defined on the basis e. their <br />relative in -place density and fine grained soils on the basis of their strength or consista=y and their <br />plasticity. <br />,`lajor <br />Descriptive Term <br />Component <br />Of Componenu Also <br />Percent OBE <br />Of OfSarnnvle <br />Size Ranste <br />Present in Sample <br />Dry Weight <br />Boulders <br />Over 3 in.
