NZS 4402.6.3.1 – Methods of testing soils for civil engineering purposes – Soil strength tests – Determination of the unconfined compressive strength of cohesive soil – Test 6.3.1 Standard method using laboratory apparatus

Covers the determination of the unconfined compressive strength of a specimen of non-fissured cohesive soil, using a laboratory compression testing machine. The test is limited to specimens in the form of right cylinders of height approximately equal to twice the diameter. To be read in conjunction with Part 1.
