Hi there – I need someone to settle an arguement between geologist and engineers. What we need to know is whether or not there is some form of standard for graphical representation of soil types. Is there a WRITTEN standard for graphically representing a sand or a clay. I know what most people use for these but we can't seem to find an ASTM or USGS publication or something similar which gives what exactly these symbols should look like. I appreciate any help you all have to give Steven
