In <br />sand, the indicated levels can be considered relatively reliable for most site conditions. In clay soils, it is not <br />possible to determine the ground water level within the normal scope of a test boring investigation, except <br />where lenses or layers of more pervious water bearing soil are present; and then a long period of time may be <br />necessary to reach equilibrium. Therefore, the position of the water level symbol for cohesive or mixed soils <br />may not indicate the true level of the ground water table. The available water level information is given at the <br />bottom of the log sheet. <br />DESCRIPTIVE TERMINOLOGY <br />RELATIVE DENSITY CONSISTENCY <br />TERM N Value (corrected) TERM N Value (corrected) <br />6060 <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 <br />A little 5 15% Gravel Coarse <br />Some 15 30% Medium #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 /> <br /> <br />
