NON-COHESIVE SOILS are described in terms of density, colour, with comments on minor constituents or
special features. Density (density index) is generally based on standard penetration testing (AS1289 Test
F3.1), or other forms of penetration testing. Terms used in describing density are set out below:

Density Index

blows/300mm
Very Loose Less than 15% Less than 5

COHESIVE SOILS are described in terms of undrained shear strength (consistency), colour and structure
with comments on minor constituents or apparent special features. Consistency is measured by hand
penetrometer or determined by laboratory testing or estimated from experience. Classification in terms of
undrained shear strength (consistency) is as follows:

Unconfined
Symbol Term Abbreviation Guide For Field Shear Strength Compressive
Strength
S0 Very VS Easily penetrated several less than 12 kPa less than 25 kPa
Soft centimetres by fist.

 Weathering
Symbol Term Description
FR Fresh Rock substance unaffected by weathering.
SW Slightly Rock substance affected by weathering to the extent that partial staining or partial
Weathered discolouration of the rock substance usually by limonite has taken place. The
colour and texture of the fresh rock is recognisable; strength properties are
essentially those of the fresh rock substance.
MW Moderately Rock substance affected by weathering to the extent staining extends throughout
Weathered whole of the rock substance and the original colour of the fresh rock is no longer
recognisable.
HW Highly Rock substance affected by weathering to the extent that limonite staining or
Weathered bleaching affects the whole of the rock substance and signs of chemical or
physical decomposition of individual minerals are usually evident. Porosity and
strength may be increased or decreased when compared to the fresh rock
substance, usually as a result of the leaching or deposition of iron. The colour
and strength of the original fresh rock substance is no longer recognisable.
EW Extremely Rock substance affected by weathering to the extent that the rock exhibits soil
Weathered properties, i.e. it can be remoulded and can be classified according to the Unified
Soil Classification System, but the texture of the original rock is still evident.

 Defect Description
Order of description: type, inclination, shape, roughness, infill type, infill thickness, number
Defect type
Symbol Description
CL Clay Seam
FL Fault - fracture along which displacement is recognisable.
SR Shear - a fracture along which movement has taken place but no displacement is recognisable.
Evidence for movement may be slickensides, polishing and/or clay gouge.
SH Sheared Zone - zone of multiple closely spaced fracture planes with roughly parallel planar
boundaries usually forming blocks of lenticular or wedge shaped intact material. Fractures are
typically smooth, polished or slickensided; and curved.
BG Bedding parting - arrangement in layers of mineral grains or crystals parallel to surface of deposition
along which a continuous observable parting occurs.
BSH Bedding plane shear - a shear formed along a bedding plane
JN Joint - a single fracture across which rock has little or no tensile strength and is not obviously related
to rock fabric.
CN Contact - surface between two lithologies.
SC Schistosity - plane formed by the preferred orientation of the constituent minerals in a parallel
arrangement in a coarse grained rock which has undergone regional metamorphism (schist).
CV Cleavage - plane of mechanical fracture in a rock normally sufficiently closely spaced to form parallel-
sided slices.
FO Foliation
CZ Crushed Zone - zone with roughly parallel, planar boundaries (commonly slickensided) containing
disoriented usually angular rock fragments of variable size often in a soil matrix.
VN Vein - fracture in which a tabular or sheet-like body of minerals have been intruded.
DK Dyke - Igneous intrusion - often weathered and altered to a clay like substance.
DZ Decomposed Zone - zone of any shape but commonly with parallel planar boundaries containing
moderately to gradational boundaries into fresher rock.
FR Fracture
FZ Fractured Zone - a zone of closely spaced defects (mainly joints, bedding, cleavage and/or
schistosity) comprised of core lengths in the order of 50mm or less.
DI Drilling Induced Fracture - Fracture caused by drilling. Usually smooth (if core has spun) or
irregular/serrated (if rock has broken in tension).

Inclination
For specific defects, the orientation of each individual defect is noted in degrees from the core axis. If the
orientation cannot be measured, a dash (-) is used.

UN Undulating Has a wavy surface shape. Ro3 Defined Sandpaper feel (fine to
ridges medium sandpaper).
ST Stepped Has one or more well defined Ro4 Small steps Sandpaper feel (medium
steps to coarse sandpaper).
IR Irregular Many changes of orientation. Ro5 Very rough Very well defined ridges

SE Serrated Saw-tooth like appearance
