Type A soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 tsf can b readily indented by the thumb, however, they can be penetrated by the thumb only with very great effort. Type C soils with an unconfined compressive strength of .5 tsf an be easily penetrated several inches by the thumb, and can be molded by light finger pressure. The test should be conducted on an undisturbed soil sample, such as a large clump of spoil, as soon as practicable after excavation to keep to a minimum the effects of exposure to drying influences. If the excavation is later exposed to

wetting influences (rain, flooding), the classification of the soil must be changed accordingly.

If the dry soils breaks into clumps which do not break up into small clumps and which can only be broken with difficulty and there is no visual indication the soil is fissured the soil may be considered unfissured. Type A means cohesive soils with an unconfined compressive strength of 1.5 ton per square foot (tsf) 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. - correct answer ✅However, no soil is Type A if:
