"None of these procedures therefore raquires measurement of pore water pressure, which is covered inPart@ of 8S 1377, Shear strength is determined either by measuring the ‘shearing force causing failure (direct shear tests), or by derivation from the measured compressive strength {uncontinod or triaxial compression taste). Roference is made to Part 1 of BS 1377 for general requirements that are relevant to all Parts of this standard, ‘andto Parts 1 and 4for methods of preparation of soiland of test specimens, Direct shear tests (clauses 3 t0 6) comprise: (ai laboratory vane test procedure. for softto firm cohesive soils: (b) small shearbox procedures for determining the angle of shear resistance of cohesionless soils, and the drained peak and residual shear strength parameters of cohesive soils; (c) large shearbox procedures for determining similar properties of gravelly soils, ron large block samples; (d) small ring shear procedure for drained residual shear strength parameters of remoulded clays. Compression tosts (clauses 7 to 9) comprise {e) unconfined compression test procedure, in the laboratory and in @ portable apparatus for use on site: (N triaxial compression test procedure from which the undrained shear strength is derived; (g)trisxial compression test procedure in several stages ‘on one specimen, for deriving undrained shear strength, ‘The unconfined compression test procedure using portable apparatus, andthe single-stage triaxial compression test, are similar in principle to those givan in the 1975 Standard, All the other procedures are new additions.
