Determination of bulk density by direct measurement of an undisturbed sample.Determination of the liquid limit by a one-point cone penetration test.Determination of the saturation moisture content of chalk.The principal changes to the classification tests included in this edition of the standard are as follows: a) Additions Reference should be made to Part 1 of this standard for general requirements that are relevant to all Parts of the series, and for methods of preparation of samples for testing. Some of the properties determined by these tests are required for tests described in other Parts of this standard. Most of these tests are required for the classification of soils in accordance with BS 5930:1981. This British Standard, a Part of the BS 1377 series, specifies methods of test for the classification of soil and for the determination of basic physical properties.
