The relative density of sands and gravels only maybe determined by the standard penetration test.A scale in terms of N-values !text deleted (seeBS EN ISO 22476-3) is as follows.Term SPT N-values, blows/300 mmpenetration Very loose 0 – 4 Loose 4 – 10 Medium dense 10 – 30 Dense 30 – 50 Very dense 50 Where measurements of the undrained shear strength are made in the field using a field or handvane, or in the laboratory by triaxial test, anundrained strength can also be given on the fieldrecord where required or appropriate using thescale below:Term based on measurement [from BS EN ISO 14688-2:2004, 5.3, Table 5] Undrained strength classification definition cu, in kPaExtremely low 10 Very low 10 – 20 Low 20 – 40 Medium 40 – 75 High 75 – 150 Very high 150 – 300 Extremely high 300 – 600 The scale for consistency of clays estimated in the field is given in Column 5 of Table 13 and is as follows:Term used for field description Consistency description definition[after BS EN ISO 14688-1:2002, 5.14] Very soft Finger easily pushed in up to25 mm. Exudes between fingers Soft Finger pushed in up to 10 mm.Moulds by light finger pressure Firm Thumb makes impression easily. Cannot be moulded by fingers, rolls in the hand to a 3 mm thick thread without breaking or crumblingStiff Can be indented slightly by thumb. Crumbles in rolling a 3 mm thick thread, but can then be remoulded into a lump Very stiff Can be indented by thumb nail. Cannot be moulded but crumbles under pressureHard Can be scratched by thumbnail When the ‘‘sample’’ is considered representative,such as may be the case in very large bulk samples from excavations or in excavated or exposed faces, then these deposits are described as follows:Main name Estimated boulder or cobble content of very coarsefractionOver 50% of BOULDERS Over 50 % is of material is very coarse !(63 mm) boulder size ( 200 mm) COBBLES Over 50 % is of cobble size !(200 mm to 63 mm) Finer material (coarse and fine soil) with asecondary very coarse fra
