1 Scope
2 In-situ density tests
  2.0 Introduction
  2.1 Sand replacement method suitable for fine- and
      medium-grained soils (small pouring cylinder
      method)
  2.2 Sand replacement method suitable for fine-,
      medium- and coarse-grained soils (large pouring
      cylinder method)
  2.3 Water replacement method suitable for
      course-grained soils
  2.4 Core cutter method for cohesive soils free from
      coarse-grained matter
  2.5 Nuclear methods suitable for fine-, medium- and
      coarse-grained soils
3 In-situ penetration tests
  3.0 Introduction
  3.1 Determination of the penetration resistance using
      the fixed 60 degree cone and friction sleeve
      (static cone penetration test CPT)
  3.2 Determination of the dynamic probing resistance
      using the 90 degree cone (dynamic probing DP)
  3.3 Determination of the penetration resistance using
      the split-barrel sampler (the standard penetration
      test SPT)
4 In-situ vertical deformation and strength tests
  4.0 Introduction
  4.1 Determination of the vertical deformation and
      strength characteristics of soil by the plate
      loading test
  4.2 Determination of the settlement characteristics of
      soil for lightly loaded foundations by the shallow
      pad maintained load test
  4.3 Determination of the in-situ California Bearing
      Ratio (CBR)
  4.4 Determination of the in-situ vane shear strength of
      weak intact cohesive soils
5 In-situ corrosivity tests
  5.0 Introduction
  5.1 Determination in-situ of the apparent resistivity
      of soil

Specifies 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.
