Abstract

Principles of engineering soil classification used in Slovenia since 1948 are analysed and compared with the newly accepted European soil classification principles. The main differences in terminology, symbols and index properties are emphasised. New Slovenian classification symbols and terminology are proposed and supported by practical examples of its use.
