Particle Size Classification System Of Soil

Posted on 24th July 201822nd February 2022 By Malay Sautya

Particle size classification of soil

In this system, soils are classified according to their grain size. Terms such as gravel, sand, silt, and clay are used to indicate grain sizes. The following systems are commonly used to classify soil according to their grain size.

  1. U.S Bureau of soil and Public Road Administration (PRA) System.
  2. International Soil Classification.
  3. MIT Classification.
  4. IS Classification. 

IS Classification

The IS classification system (IS: 1498-1970) first developed in 1959 and revised in 1970. This system has been derived from the unified soil classification system. In this system soils are classified as follows: 

Particle size classification of soil - IS Classification of soil

MIT Classification

The MIT classification system was proposed by Pro. Gilboy of U.S.A. In this system soil are classified as follows:
