Failure of any batch sample requires re-testing of 20% of the batch; further failure leads to rejection of the entire batch.
The standard organizes in-situ tests into four primary groups based on their purpose: BS 1377 Part 9: In-Situ Soil Tests | PDF | Density - Scribd
Over-conservative designs increase costs unnecessarily. Accurate in-situ data allows engineers to optimize foundation designs, potentially reducing the size of footings or the thickness of pavement sub-bases, saving the client significant money without compromising safety.
