The range of Poisson's ratio for soils such as silty clay, sandy silt, sandy clay, clayey sand, and silty sand typically falls between 0.2 and 0.5. While silty clays may exhibit values closer to 0.3 to 0.5, sandy soils like sandy clay and sandy silt often have lower values, around 0.2 to 0.4. The specific value can vary depending on the soil's moisture content, density, and compaction. Always refer to empirical data or specific soil testing for precise values in engineering applications.
