Title
Methods of Test for Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes Part 9: In-Situ Tests
British Standards Institution
Publication Date:
Aug 31, 1990
Scope:
This Part of BS 1377 describes in-situ methods of test on soils for civil engineering purposes, i.e. tests made directly on the soil in place as distinct from laboratory tests, described in Parts 2 to 8 of this standard, for which samples first need to be taken. The methods described in this Part of this standard have been arranged in groups either according to the purpose of the test or the mode of execution. These groups are as follows.
a) Five methods for the determination of the in-situ density.
b) Three methods for the determination of penetration resistances.
c) Four methods for the determination of the vertical deformation and strength characteristics.
d) Two methods for the determination of the in-situ corrosivity characteristics.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
