The document discusses different types of soil including clay and sandy soil. It provides classifications for soil consistency, density, and strength based on N-values from Standard Penetration Tests. Clay is classified from very soft to hard depending on the N-value, ranging from less than 2 to over 40. Density and strength of soil increases with increasing N-values. The shear strength of clay increases with depth from soft upper clay with Su of 12-25 kPa to hard lower clay with Su over 200 kPa.
