Moja odpowiedź zawiera kciuk, spenetrowanie, badanie, jak i opis tego co jest badane, czyli wytrzymałość gruntu. Mój link wskazuje, że to odnosi się do wytrzymałości na ścinanie, czyli shear strength.
Grunt należy określić jako spoisty, jeżeli po wyschnięciu do stanu powietrzno-suchego tworzy on zwarte grudki. Grunt należy określić jako niespoisty, jeżeli po wyschnięciu do stanu powietrzno-suchego stanowi on niezwiązane ze sobą cząstki lub grudki, rozpadające się pod wpływem lekkiego nacisku palcem. Jeżeli grunt jest w stanie wilgotnym, to rodzaj gruntu określa się na podstawie zdolności do formowania kulki. Grunt spoisty, w przeciwieństwie do sypkiego umożliwia uformowanie kulki. Rodzaj gruntów spoistych zależy przede wszystkim od zawartości w nich frakcji iłowej, a ponadto od zawartości frakcji pyłowej i piaskowej. Wyróżnia się 4 rodzaje gruntów spoistych (stopnie spoistości), przy czym spoistość nadaje gruntom frakcja iłowa (tab. 11). Rodzaje gruntów makroskopowo określa się na podstawie próby wałeczkowania, a w przypadkach wątpliwych - uzupełnionej próbą rozmakania i rozcieraniałeczkowania, a w przypadkach wątpliwych - uzupełnionej próbą rozmakania i rozcierania
The thumb penetration test is used to quickly estimate the compressive strength of a cohesive soil sample. To perform the thumb penetration test, simply press the end of your thumb into a fresh clump of soil. If the soil sample is Type A, your thumb will only make an indentation in the soil with great effort, as you can see demonstrated here. If the soil sample is Type B, your thumb will sink into the soil up to the end of your thumbnail, just like this. If the soil sample is Type C, your thumb will sink all the way into the soil clump, as you can see here. Your results for this test will probably be somewhere in between these results.
Soil can either be cohesive or granular. Cohesive soil contains fine particles and enough clay so that the soil will stick to itself. The more cohesive the soil, the more clay it has, and the less likely a cave-in will happen. Granular soils are made of coarse particles, such as sand or gravel. This type of soil will not stick to itself. The less cohesive the soil, the greater the measures needed to prevent a cave-in. OSHA uses a measurement called "unconfined compressive strength" to classify each type of soil. This is the amount of pressure that will cause the soil to collapse. This value is usually reported in units of tons per square foot.
Soils can be classified as Type A, Type B, or Type C. Type A soil is the most stable soil in which to excavate. Type C is the least stable soil. It's important to remember that a trench can be cut through more than one type of soil.
Reference information: The thumb penetration procedure involves an attempt to press the thumb firmly into the soil in question. If the thumb makes an indentation in the soil only with great difficulty, the soil is probably Type A. If the thumb penetrates no further than the length of the thumb nail, it is probably Type B soil, and if the thumb penetrates the full length of the thumb, it is Type C soil. The thumb test is subjective and is therefore the least accurate of the three methods.
