ISO 22476-10:2017 PDF Download

ISO 22476-10:2017 is a standard that focuses on the weight sounding test, which is a geotechnical field testing method. The standard provides detailed instructions on the equipment, execution, and reporting requirements for this particular test. It is worth noting that ISO 22476-10 is designed to meet the requirements set by EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2, which are European standards for geotechnical investigation and testing.

The weight sounding test is conducted on various types of soil, including natural soils, made ground, and fill, both on land and on water. The purpose of the test is to determine the soil's resistance to static load and specified turning of the sounding point. Additionally, this standard provides guidelines on how to use the weight sounding test to obtain a continuous soil profile and identify the layer sequence. It also discusses the estimation of density for cohesionless soils and the depth of dense ground layers, which can be used to determine the length of end-bearing piles.
