Soil classification

Approximate values of soils can be obtained from the catalogue of soils. The combo list serves to select the desired soil and specify its consistency or compactness, respectively. The soil parameters obtained from the catalogue appear in the window.

Pressing the "OK" button shows in the "Add new soil" recommended values next to corresponding input fields (see Fig.). Pressing the "OK+Assign" button then assigns to individual input fields the average values of soil parameters. The "Cancel" button leaves the window with no action.

The "Manual" button opens the "Manual soil classification" dialogue window that allows for classifying the soil if its parameters are known, e.g., from laboratory measurements (grading, moisture, compactness….).
