The AASHTO soil classification chart classifies soils based on their grain size composition using percentages of gravel, sand, and fines. Soils are categorized into A-1 through A-7 groups with A-1 being granular soils like gravel and sand and A-7 being fine grained soils like clays. The chart is used in geotechnical engineering to evaluate soils for their suitability in construction applications.
