Answer / smarika
Classification of soils is necessary since through it an
approximate, but fairly accurate, idea of the average properties of a soil group or a soil type is
obtainable, which is of great convenience in any routine type of soil engineering project.

Answer / raja rammohan nayak
Soil classification is observed to know the soil bearing capacity (SBC) of soil.
SBC is varies due to different types of soil..

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.
