General genetic classification of technogenic soils

Abstract

Possible approaches to the classification of technogenic soils in the framework of their general classification system are discussed in connection with the revision of one of the basic standards. Eventual genesis of technogenic soils and primary factors determining the origin of their properties are analyzed. Classification attributes of technogenic soils and their hierarchy are presented. Paper results in the development of general classification of technogenic soils comprising the basis for their standard classification system.
