Methods of test for soils for civil engineering purposes - In-situ tests
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 BS 1377‑2, for which samples first need to be taken. The methods described in this part of BS 1377 have been arranged in groups either according to the purpose of the test or the mode of execution.
