Soil classification of soils including the prediction of engineering soil parameters, Written with the engineers in mind more so than the laboratory technicians. It is intended to be a design aid by providing very good estimates of soils engineering parameters to be used in the design process. The prediction models are based on published research as well as on more than 10 years worth of data from three different countries.

Features

SoilClass is not just a simple soil classification software, rather it’s a perfect aid for the design engineer as it provides a significant number of engineering parameters and guidance based on years of experience and published research.

• Classify the soil based on AASHTO and the Unified systems and reports the symbol as well as narrative explanation. This features is available for batch processing as well, of up to 1000 samples at a time and save to Excel File.
   
• Gives the engineer an indication of the compactibility of the soil, the best tools to use for compaction, its susceptibility to frost, suitability as a base course, etc…
   
• It provides an estimate of the permeability using Hazen’s formula.
   
• Estimates the soil’s friction angle, cohesion, and soaked CBR based on relations drawn from data collected from three different countries over the last 10 years.
   
• Suggestions for the CBR and unit weight according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or internal own correlations.
   
• Estimate the Coefficient of Compressibility (Cc) based on internal and various published research, in addition to other relevant parameters such as Cu, Cz, D10, D60, D85, etc…
