Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Geohydraulic Testing - Part 5: Infiltrometer Tests
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 22282-5 standard provides guidelines and requirements for conducting infiltrometer tests as part of geotechnical investigation services. These tests are specifically performed in accordance with EN 1997-1 and prEN 1997-2.
The standard focuses on the use of infiltrometer tests to determine the hydraulic conductivity and infiltration capacity of soil. It outlines the procedures, equipment, and parameters to be considered when performing these tests. The standard also provides guidance on data interpretation and reporting.
Infiltrometer tests are essential in assessing the behavior and properties of soil, particularly in relation to its hydraulic characteristics. By conducting these tests, geotechnical professionals can gather valuable information to make informed decisions regarding site characterization, foundation design, and slope stability analysis, among other geotechnical applications.
