BS EN ISO 22476-6:2018 PDF Download

BS EN ISO 22476-6:2018 is a standard that outlines the requirements for conducting self-boring pressuremeter (SBP) tests in geotechnical investigation and testing. The standard focuses on the equipment requirements, the execution of the tests, and the reporting of the results.

The purpose of a self-boring pressuremeter test is to measure the deformation of soils and weak rocks in situ. This is achieved by applying pressure to a cylindrical flexible membrane and observing its expansion and contraction. The test provides valuable information about the strength and stiffness characteristics of the tested material.

It is important to note that this standard is in compliance with the requirements of EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2, which are standards related to geotechnical investigation services. This indicates that the self-boring pressuremeter test can be considered as a reliable and recognized method for geotechnical investigations.
