BS 1377: 1990. METHODS OF TEST FOR SOILS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING PURPOSES. PART 5: COMPRESSIBILITY, PERMEABILITY AND DURABILITY TESTS

This Part of BS 1377 has been prepared under the direction of the Road Engineering Standards Policy Committee. It is part revision of clause 5 of BS 1377 : 1975 which is deleted by amendment. BS 1377 is in the process of being revised and will comprise nine separate parts. Part 5 of this standard describes methods of test for the determination of the consolidation characteristics of soils when subjected to changes in the applied effective stress, the permeability characteristics of sands, the susceptibility of clays to internal erosion by water, and the susceptibility of soils to heave in freezing conditions. For the abstract for BS 1377 : 1990 Part 1 see IRRD 830334.
