Compendium of Indian Standards on Soil Engineering: Part-2 Field Testing of Soils For Civil Engineering Purposes
IS SP Part 2 compiles Indian Standards for field testing of soils specifically for civil engineering applications. It covers methods for in-situ soil density determination, sampling techniques including thin wall samplers, borehole preparation, and various field tests such as plate load and vane shear tests. This standard is essential for geotechnical engineers, site investigators, and construction professionals involved in soil exploration, sampling, and testing to evaluate soil properties accurately for foundation design and earthworks.
