Geotechnical investigation and testing - Laboratory testing of soil - Part 2: Determination of density of fine grained soil (ISO/TS 17892-2:2004)
This document specifies methods of test for the determination of the bulk and dry density of intact soil or rock within the scope of the geotechnical investigations according to prEN 1997 1 and prEN 1997 2.
The bulk density of a soil is useful in the determination of the in-situ overburden stresses at various depth (geostatic stresses). Furthermore, bulk and dry density can qualitatively describe the mechanical characteristics of a soil via empirical relationships which are to be found in the technical literature. Such relationships should be used only as guidelines and should be supplemented by direct measurements of the mechanical characteristics.
This document describes three methods:
a) linear measurements method;
b) immersion in water method;
c) fluid displacement method.
The linear measurement method is suitable for the determination of the density of a specimen of cohesive soil of regular shape, including specimens prepared for other tests. The specimens used are normally in the form of either rectangular prisms or straight cylinders.
The immersion in water method covers the determination of the bulk density and dry density of a specimen of natural or compacted soil by measuring its mass in air and its apparent mass when suspended in water. The method is employable whenever lumps of material of suitable size can be obtained.
The fluid displacement method covers the determination of the bulk density and dry density of a specimen of soil by measuring mass and displacement of water or other appropriate fluid after immersion. The method is employable whenever lumps of material of suitable size can be obtained.

Reconnaissance et essais géotechniques - Essais de laboratoire sur les sols - Partie 2: Détermination de la masse volumique d'un sol fin (ISO/TS 17892-2:2004)
L'ISO 17892-2:2004 spécifie les méthodes d'essai pour la détermination des masses volumiques d'un échantillon de sol ou de roche non remanié à l'état humide ou sec dans le domaine d'application de la reconnaissance géotechnique conformément aux prEN 1997-1 et pr EN 1997-2.
La masse volumique d'un sol est utilisée pour la détermination des contraintes du terrain en place à différentes profondeurs (contraintes géostatiques). De plus, les masses volumiques du sol à l'état humide ou sec peuvent permettre d'estimer qualitativement les caractéristiques mécaniques d'un sol, en se basant sur des relations empiriques fournies dans la documentation technique. Il convient que ces relations soient utilisées uniquement à titre indicatif et qu'elles soient complétées par des mesurages directs des caractéristiques mécaniques.
Le présent document décrit trois méthodes:
a) méthode par mesurage des dimensions géométriques;
b) méthode par pesée hydrostatique;
c) méthode par déplacement d'un fluide.
La méthode par mesurage des dimensions géométriques convient pour la détermination de la masse volumique d'une éprouvette de sol cohérent de forme régulière, y compris pour des éprouvettes préparées pour d'autres essais. Les éprouvettes utilisées sont généralement en forme de prisme rectangulaire ou de cylindre droit.
La méthode par pesée hydrostatique s'applique à la détermination de la masse volumique d'un sol humide ou sec, naturel ou compacté, par mesurage de sa masse dans l'air et de sa masse apparente après immersion dans l'eau. Cette méthode peut être utilisée dès lors qu'il est possible d'obtenir des blocs de matériau de dimension appropriée.
La méthode par déplacement d'un fluide permet la détermination de la masse volumique d'une éprouvette de sol à l'état humide ou sec par mesurage de sa masse et de la quantité d'eau (ou autre fluide) déplacée après immersion. Cette méthode peut être utilisée dès lors qu'il est possible d'obtenir des blocs de matériau de dimension appropriée.
Geotehnično preiskovanje in preskušanje – Laboratorijsko preskušanje zemljin – 2. del: Ugotavljanje gostote drobnozrnatih zemljin (ISO/TS 17892-2:2004)
Ta dokument določa preskusne metode za ugotavljanje specifične mase in referenčne gostote nespremenjenih zemljin ali kamnin v okviru geotehničnih preiskav v skladu s prEN 1997-1 in prEN 1997-2. Specifična masa zemljine je uporabna pri ugotavljanju in situ preobremenitvenih napetosti v različnih globinah (geostatičnih napetosti). Poleg tega specifična masa in referenčna gostota preko empiričnih razmerij, navedenih v tehnični literaturi, lahko opišeta mehanske značilnosti zemljine. Takšna razmerja naj se uporabljajo le kot smernice in jih je treba dopolniti z neposrednimi meritvami mehanskih značilnosti. Ta dokument opisuje tri metode: a) metodo linearnih meritev; b) metodo s potopitvijo v vodo; c) metodo tekočinskega izpodrivanja. Metoda linearnih meritev je primerna za ugotavljanje gostote vzorca kohezivne zemljine pravilne oblike, vključno z vzorci, pripravljenimi za druge preskuse. Uporabljeni vzorci so običajno v obliki pravokotnih prizem ali ravnih valjev. Metoda s potopitvijo v vodo zajema ugotavljanje specifične mase in referenčne gostote vzorca naravne ali zbite zemljine z merjenjem njene mase v zraku in njene navidezne mase, ko je potopljena v vodo. Metoda se uporablja, kadar se lahko pridobijo grude materiala primerne velikosti. Metoda tekočinskega izpodrivanja zajema ugotavljanje specifične mase in referenčne gostote vzorca zemljine z merjenjem mase in izpodriva vode ali druge primerne tekočine po potopitvi. Metoda se uporablja, kadar se lahko pridobijo grude materiala primerne velikosti.

1 Scope
This document specifies methods of test for the determination of the bulk and dry density of intact soil or rock within
the scope of the geotechnical investigations according to prEN 1997-1 and prEN 1997-2.
The bulk density of a soil is useful in the determination of the in-situ overburden stresses at various depth
(geostatic stresses). Furthermore, bulk and dry density can qualitatively describe the mechanical characteristics of
a soil via empirical relationships which are to be found in the technical literature. Such relationships should be used
only as guidelines and should be supplemented by direct measurements of the mechanical characteristics.
This document describes three methods:
a) linear measurements method;
b) immersion in water method;
c) fluid displacement method.
The linear measurement method is suitable for the determination of the density of a specimen of cohesive soil of
regular shape, including specimens prepared for other tests. The specimens used are normally in the form of either
rectangular prisms or straight cylinders.
The immersion in water method covers the determination of the bulk density and dry density of a specimen of
natural or compacted soil by measuring its mass in air and its apparent mass when suspended in water. The
method is employable whenever lumps of material of suitable size can be obtained.
The fluid displacement method covers the determination of the bulk density and dry density of a specimen of soil by
measuring mass and displacement of water or other appropriate fluid after immersion. The method is employable
whenever lumps of material of suitable size can be obtained.

5 Test procedure
5.1 Linear measurement method
5.1.1 General
The principle of the method is to weigh a specimen of known volume. Three procedures are specified for preparing
the specimen. Other methods are also accepted if they provide undisturbed specimens of regular shape.
5.1.2 Specimen from block sample
5.1.2.1 At least 10 mm from the outside face of the block sample shall be cut away and an approximately
rectangular prism of soil slightly larger than the final dimensions of the specimen shall be formed. If the specimen is
to be used for some other test its shape and dimensions shall be appropriate for that test, too.
5.1.2.2 The ends of the prism shall be made plane and parallel using the mitre box, or by careful trimming and
checking with straightedge and try square on the glass plate. The test specimen may be either rectangular or
cylindrical.
5.1.2.3 For a rectangular specimen the other four faces of the prism shall be trimmed so that they are mutually
perpendicular and at right angles to the end faces. Flatness and squareness shall be accurate to within 0,5 % of
each dimension.
5.1.2.4 For a cylindrical specimen the specimen shall be placed in a soil lathe and the excess soil cut in thin
layers. The specimen shall be rotated between each cut until a cylindrical specimen is produced. The specimen
shall not be trimmed while it is being rotated. Af
