Classification of soils

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

Dialog window "Classification of soils"

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