The primary purpose in determining the soil classification is to enable the engineer to predict probable field behaviour of soils ... the initial division of soils is based on the separation of coarse and fine-grained soils and highly organic soils ... A separate division of highly organic soils is established for materials which are not generally suitable for construction purposes.
