Soil Survey Interpretations for Engineering Purposes¹

ABSTRACT

This short paper attempts to provide the background for the common interests shared by pedologists and engineers. Some engineering attitudes toward soils are discussed and a soil scientist's approach to soil engineering problems is suggested. The paper further describes the nature of a productive cooperation between pedologist and engineer and discusses the obligations of each in order that their efforts may best serve engineering needs.
