This part of BS 1377 describes methods of test for determining characteristics related to the compaction of soils, which can be used as a basis for specifying requirements for soils compacted in the field. This British Standard also includes a method for assessing an empirical strength criterion (the CBR value) of a compacted or undisturbed.
