Fine (;rained soils nave less d►an 30% of -heir dry <br />weight retained on a 0200 sieve; they are described as: Mays or clayey silts if they are cohesive and <br />silts if they are non -cohesive. In addition to gradation, granular soils are definntd on the basis o. their <br />relative in -place density and fine grained soils on the basis Of their strength or consistency and their <br />Plasticity. <br />.Major <br />Descriptive Term <br />Component <br />Of Components Also <br />Percent Of <br />Of sarnole <br />Nz�tgr <br />Present in Samoie <br />Ory Weitnt <br />boulders <br />Over E in.
