Methods of Test for Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes: Compaction-Related Tests
Also Known As:
BS 1377-4:1990 is a British Standard that provides methods for testing and determining characteristics related to soil compaction for civil engineering purposes. The standard is used as a basis for specifying requirements for soils that are compacted in the field. It also includes a method for assessing the empirical strength criterion, known as the California Bearing Ratio (CBR), for sub-grade materials used in pavement construction.
The standard references other parts of BS 1377, such as BS 1377-2 for classification tests and BS 1377-1 for general requirements and methods of soil preparation.
The current edition of the standard provides more detailed procedures for sample preparation in the dry density/moisture relationship tests and the CBR test. Explanatory flow diagrams are included to aid in understanding and implementing these procedures.
