3.0 Excavation

  • 3.1. Excavation identified properly ?

  • "Type A" means cohesive soils with an unconfined, compressive strength

    of 1.5 ton per square foot (tsf) (144 kPa) or greater. Examples of

    cohesive soils are: clay, silty clay, sandy clay, clay loam and, in some

    cases, silty clay loam and sandy clay loam. Cemented soils such as caliche

    and hardpan are also considered Type A. However, no soil is Type A if:

    (i) The soil is fissured; or

    (ii) The soil is subject to vibration from heavy traffic, pile driving,

    or similar effects; or

    (iii) The soil has been previously disturbed; or

    (iv) The soil is part of a sloped, layered system where the layers dip

    into the excavation on a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V)

    or greater; or

    (v) The material is subject to other factors that would require it to be

    classified as a less stable material.

    "Type B" means:

    (i) Cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength greater than

    0.5 tsf (48 kPa) but less than 1.5 tsf (144 kPa); or

    (ii) Granular cohesionless soils including: angular gravel (similar to

    crushed rock), silt, silt loam, sandy loam and, in some cases, silty clay

    loam and sandy clay loam.

    (iii) Previously disturbed soils except those which would otherwise be

    classed as Type C soil.

    (iv) Soil that meets the unconfined compressive strength or cementation

    requirements for Type A, but is fissured or subject to vibration; or

    (v) Dry rock that is not stable; or

    (vi) Material that is part of a sloped, layered system where the layers

    dip into the excavation on a slope less steep than four horizontal to one

    vertical (4H:1V), but only if the material would otherwise be classified

    as Type B.

    "Type C" means:

    (i) Cohesive soil with an unconfined compressive strength of 0.5 tsf (48

    kPa) or less; or

    (ii) Granular soils including gravel, sand, and loamy sand; or

    (iii) Submerged soil or soil from which water is freely seeping; or

    (iv) Submerged rock that is not stable, or

    (v) Material in a sloped, layered system where the layers dip into the

    excavation or a slope of four horizontal to one vertical (4H:1V) or

    steeper.

    "Unconfined compressive strength" means the load per unit area at which

    a soil will fail in compression. It can be determined by laboratory

    testing, or estimated in the field using a pocket penetrometer, by thumb

    penetration tests, and other methods.

    "Wet soil" means soil that contains significantly more moisture than

    moist soil, but in such a range of values that cohesive material will

    slump or begin to flow when vibrated. Granular material that would exhibit

    cohesive properties when moist will lose those cohesive properties when

    wet.
