13、77-1:2016ii The British Standards Institution 20160 IntroductionThis British Standard consists of nine Parts. Part 1 contains general informationrelevant to all the other Parts. Parts 2 to 8 describe methods of test on soils forcivil engineering purposes for which samples need to be taken for testin
14、g in alaboratory. The laboratory test procedures are grouped under the followingheadings. Part 2: Classification tests; Part 3: Chemical and electro-chemical tests; Part 4: Compaction-related tests; Part 5: Compressibility, permeability and durability tests; Part 6: Consolidation and permeability te
15、sts in hydraulic cells and with porepressure measurement; Part 7: Shear strength tests (total stress); Part 8: Shear strength tests (effective stress).Part 9 specifies methods of test which are carried out directly on the soil in-situ.Part 1: General requirements and sample preparation. Part 1 of th
16、is BritishStandard contains general information relating to the tests, common calibrationand specification requirements and general requirements for testing laboratoriesand field work. It also includes details of procedures for the preparation ofdisturbed and undisturbed samples, where these are com
17、mon to more than onetype of test. The main changes introduced by this new edition are as follows.a) Extend the maximum period between recalibration of balances from sixmonths to one year.b) Amend the requirements for calibration certificates of reference equipmentto be in accordance with BS EN ISO 1
18、7025.c) Include references to the BS EN ISO 17892 series of standards, where thesehave been published and the equivalent tests in BS 1377-2 have beensuperseded.d) Amend “moisture content” to “water content” in accordance withBS EN ISO 17892-1.e) Remove references to withdrawn British Standards, and
19、replace withreferences to the current BS, EN or ISO replacements.Part 2: Classification tests. Part 2 describes tests for the classification of soilsaccording to Atterberg limits and particle size distribution. No changes inprinciple have been made in the test procedures. Note that the water content
20、,density and particle density tests have been superseded by tests in theBS EN ISO 17892 series.Part 3: Chemical and electro-chemical tests. Part 3 describes chemical tests onsoils and on water.Test procedures include for the determination of the following.a) Loss on ignition.b) Carbonate content.c)
21、Chloride content.d) Total dissolved solids.BRITISH STANDARD BS 1377-1:2016 The British Standards Institution 2016 1Tests also include for the assessment of the corrosivity of soils; these are thedetermination of the electrical resistivity and of the redox potential. In-situmethods of these two tests
22、 are given in Part 9.Part 4: Compaction-related tests. Part 4 describes those tests that refer in someway to the compaction of soils. These include procedures for determiningcompaction parameters; additional tests for measurement of the limitingdensities of non-cohesive soils; and tests which are re
23、lated to the control andbehaviour of soil placed in-situ as fill, comprising the CBR test, the moisturecondition test and the chalk crushing value test. Attention is given to severalmethods of sample preparation appropriate to different soil types prior tocompaction tests and the compaction of sampl
24、es for the CBR test.Part 5: Compressibility, permeability and durability tests. Part 5 describes testprocedures in which the presence or drainage or flow of water within the porespaces of the soil is the significant factor, but without requiring themeasurement of pore water pressure. These include t
25、he one-dimensionaloedometer consolidation test, and tests for determining the swelling andcollapsing characteristics. Further additional test procedures are as follows.a) Determination of soil permeability (constant-head method).b) Determination of erodibility and dispersive characteristics of fine-
26、grainedsoils.c) Determination of potential frost heave for which reference is made toBS 812-124.Part 6: Consolidation and permeability tests in hydraulic cells and with porepressure measurement. Part 6 describes tests for the determination ofconsolidation and permeability parameters using equipment
27、in which themeasurement of pore water pressure is an essential feature. These comprise thefollowing.a) Determination of consolidation properties in a hydraulic consolidation cell.For samples of large diameter, either vertical or horizontal (radial) drainagecan be used.b) Determination of consolidati
28、on properties in a triaxial cell under isotropicconditions.Part 7: Shear strength tests (total stress). Part 7 describes methods for thedetermination of the shear strength of soils in terms of total stress, or (in thecase of drained direct shear tests) in terms of effective stress when equal to tota
29、lstress. These comprise the following.a) The unconsolidated, undrained triaxial compression test, which includes amulti-stage method which is appropriate under certain conditions.b) A test for determining unconfined compressive strength using standardlaboratory apparatus.c) The laboratory vane test
30、for very soft soils.d) Direct shear tests using the shear box and the ring shear apparatus,including the determination of drained and drained-residual shear strengthparameters.Part 8: Shear strength tests (effective stress). Part 8 describes the determinationof effective stress shear strength parame
31、ters in the consolidated-drained andconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests.BRITISH STANDARDBS 1377-1:20162 The British Standards Institution 2016Part 9: In-situ tests. The methods described in this Part have been formed intogroups, according to either the purpose of the test or the mode o
32、f execution.These groups are as follows.a) In-situ density tests.b) In-situ penetration tests.c) In-situ vertical deformation and strength tests.d) In-situ corrosivity tests.1 ScopeThis part of BS 1377 specifies general requirements for the testing of soils forcivil engineering purposes and describe
