SOIL MECHANICS
In trenching and excavation
practices, SOIL is defined as any
materials removed from the ground
to form a hole, trench or cavity for
the purpose of working below the
earths surface.

Will soil classification be made in accordance with the maximum allowable configurations and
slopes, or designs using tabulated data , or design by a registered engineer.
YES
Excavation must comply with one of the
three options:
NO
Excavation requires a slope of 1 1/2H and
1V (34 deg.)
Option 1
Design using requirements of Soil
Classification and requirements of sloping
and Benching.
Option 2
