 Soil Descriptions
 Description and Classification of Soils for Geotechnical Purposes: Refer to AS1726-1993 (Appendix A).
 The following chart (adapted from AS1726-1993, Appendix A, Table A1) is based on the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS).



Soil Colour: Is described in the moist condition using black, white, grey, red, brown, orange, yellow, green or blue. Borderline cases can be described
as a combination of two colours, with the weaker followed by the stronger. Modifiers such as pale, dark or mottled, can be used as necessary. Where
colour consists of a primary colour with secondary mottling, it should be described as follows:
(Primary) mottled (Secondary). Refer to AS 1726-1993, A2.4 and A3.3.
