BS 1377 : 1978 which has now been withdrawn is replaced by the following Parts of 8S 1977: 1990: Part. Gonoral requirements and sample preparation Part2. Classification tests Part3. Chemical and electro-chemical rests Part4. Compaction-related tests Pant. Compressibilty, permeability and durability tests Pam 6. Consolidation and permeability tests in hydraulic calls and with pore pressure measurement Pen. Shear strength tosts (cotal stress) Port8. Shoar strength tosts (effective stress) Pand. In-situ tests Aeference should be made to Part 1 for further information ‘about each of the Parts. ‘The principal changes to the classification tests as described inthe 1975 edition are as follows. (a) Additions Determination of the saturation moisture content of chalk, Determination of the liquid limit by @ one-point cone penetration test, Determination of shrinkage limit. Determination of bulk density by direct mensurement of anundisturbed sample. Determination of particle density using a large Issue 2, May 1996 (8) Deretion The alcohol and send hath methods for the ‘determination of mossture content (0) Significant changes Use of the ISO recommended series of save aperture sizes has bean introduced as an altarnativeto existing sieve aperture sizes. Procedures for fine particle size analysis by “sedimentation have boon amended. Pratroatmentis not now mandatory, and the ngvd for sevirél correctionsio ‘est observations has been aliminated, ‘The term ‘particle density’ replaces ‘specific gravity’. For most of the tests tho normal requirement is to use the soil in its natural state without the need for drying bofore testing. thas been assumedin the drafting of this British Standard ‘that the execution ofits provisions is entrusteg to appropriately qualified end experienced people.
