Note: "Granular soil means gravel, sand, or silt, (coarse grained soil) with little or no clay
content. Granular soil has no cohesive strength. Some moist granular soils exhibit
apparent cohesion. Granular soil cannot be molded when moist and crumbles easily
when dry." Loose and dense granular soils can be classified through SPT values.
