 Topic: Types of Soil
Sir,
What are the types of soil in India as regards building works?

In our area, they have classified soil type as
A  Most sand and rock sites, with little or no ground movement
S  Slightly reactive clay sites, with only slight ground  movement
M  Moderately reactive clay or silt sites which can experience moderate movement
H  Highly reactive clay sites, which can experience high ground movement
E  Extremely reactive sites,
P  Soft site, which includes soft soils, such as soft clay or silt

It will be good if someone can compare and contrast Indian soil types with the above.
Thanks, Gerard
