This Part of BS1377 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.

Reference is made to some of the classification tests described in BS1377‑2, and to some of the methods of soil compaction described in BS1377‑4.

Reference is made to Part1 for general requirements that are relevant to all Parts of this British Standard and for methods of preliminary preparation of soil and specimens for testing.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
