Answer / mohd. abdul kalam

Soils are mainly classified into 3 types

1. Coarse grained soils - are soils which composed of gravel
and or sands and which contain a wide variety of particles.
These are most suitable for foundations when well drained
and well confined. They are soils with good bearing value.

2. Fine Grained soils - are soils that are Silts and
Clays,Contain smaller particles of silt and clay. These are
suitable for foundations but require compactions

3. Organic soils - are the soils consisting of mainly
organic matter like humus, peat, etc... These are not
suitable for foundations.
