In clay soils, it <br /> is not possible to determine the ground water level within the normal scope of a test boring <br /> investigation, except where lenses or layers of more pervious water bearing soil are present; and then a <br /> long period of time may be necessary to reach equilibrium. Therefore, the position of the water level <br /> symbol for cohesive or mixed soils may not indicate the true level of the ground water table. The <br /> available water level information is given at the bottom of the log sheet. <br /> DESCRIPTIVE TERMINOLOGY <br /> RELATIVE DENSITY CONSISTENCY <br /> TERM N60 Value(corrected) TERM N60 Value(corrected) <br /> Very Loose 0-4 Soft 0-4 <br /> Loose 5-8 Medium 5-8 <br /> Medium Dense 9-16 Rather Stiff 9-15 <br /> Dense 16-30 Stiff 16-30 <br /> Very Dense Over 30 Very Stiff Over 30 <br /> RELATIVE PROPORTIONS PARTICLE SIZES <br /> TERMS RANGE MATERIAL DESCRIPTION U.S.SIEVE SIZE <br /> Trace 0-5% Boulders Over 3" <br /> A little 5-15% Gravel Coarse 3"to%" <br /> Some 15-30% Medium %"to#4 <br /> Sand Coarse #4 to#10 <br /> Medium #10 to#40 <br /> Fine #40 to#200 <br /> Silt and Clay Determined by Hydrometer Test <br />
