Sažetak
Soil classification for engineering purposes is a set of procedures which enables engineers all over the world to separate different soil types into groups of similar mechanical properties. It also enables them to compare results obtained in different laboratories, communicate with one another, and understand soil test results more easily. This paper presents a comparison of two soil classification systems using computer program Classif, developed by the authors. CLASSIF is a spreadsheet solution based on Microsoft Excel and VBA. It enables performing both the USCS and ESCS using the same input data. The examples presented in the paper show that the symbols are completely different, soil group names are relatively different, while the soil classification procedures are pretty similar.
