BS 5930:2015

This British Standard gives recommendations for the investigation of sites for thepurposes of assessing their suitability for the construction of civil engineeringand building works and of acquiring knowledge of the characteristics of a sitethat could affect the design and construction of such work and the security ofneighbouring land and property. NOTE The use of soil and rock as construction materials is treated only briefly;further information is given in BS 6031.This British Standard provides guidance on the application of BS EN 1997-1 andBS EN 1997-2 and the related test standards cited therein.It does not provide guidance on investigations for contamination or naturallyelevated concentrations of potentially hazardous substances (these are dealtwith in BS 10175). Nor does it provide guidance on investigations for ground gas(these are dealt with in BS 8576). However, it does provide guidance on theintegration of geotechnical investigations with investigations for contaminationor ground gas and other types of investigations (e.g. archaeological).Cross References:BS 1377-1:1990BS 1377-2:1990BS 1377-3:1990BS 1377-4:1990 BS 1377-5:1990BS 1377-6:1990BS 1377-7:1990BS 1377-8:1990 BS 1377-9:1990BS 8550BS 8574BS 8576:2013BS 10175:2011+A1:2013BS 22475-3:2011BS EN 1997-1:2004+A1:2013BS EN 1997-2:2007BS EN ISO 5667-1BS EN ISO 5667-3BS EN ISO 10545-8BS EN ISO 14688-1:2002BS EN ISO 14688-2:2004BS EN ISO 14689-1:2003BS EN ISO 17892-1BS EN ISO 17892-2BS EN ISO 18674BS EN ISO 22282-1BS EN ISO 22282-2BS EN ISO 22282-3BS EN ISO 22282-4BS EN ISO 22282-5BS EN ISO 22282-6BS EN ISO 22475-1:2006BS EN ISO 22476-1BS EN ISO 22476-2BS EN ISO 22476-3BS EN ISO 22476-4BS EN ISO 22476-5BS EN ISO 22476-6BS EN ISO 22476-7BS EN ISO 22476-8BS EN ISO 22476-9BS EN ISO 22476-12BS ISO 5667-11BS ISO 5667-22ISO/TS 22476-11NA to BS EN 1997-2:2007PAS 128ASTM D2766-95ASTM D2845-08ASTM D2936-08ASTM D3967-08ASTM D3999-11ASTM D4015-07ASTM D4404-10ASTM D4525-08ASTM D4543-08ASTM D4611-08ASTM D4879-89ASTM D5084-10ASTM D5298-10ASTM D5311-11ASTM D5334-08ASTM D5335-08ASTM D5607-08ASTM D5731-08ASTM D6528-07ASTM D7012-10ASTM D7070-08ASTM D7664-10ASTM E1225-13ASTM E228-11ASTM E831-14 ASTM G162-99ASTM G187-12BS 812-1BS 812-124BS 1047 BS 5493BS 6031BS 7361-1BS 7755-3.11ISO 11048BS 8002BS 8004BS 8008BS 22475-2BS EN 932-1BS EN 932-3BS EN 932-5BS EN 932-6BS EN 933-1BS EN 933-3BS EN 933-4BS EN 933-5BS EN 933-6BS EN 933-7BS EN 933-8 BS EN 933-9BS EN 933-10BS EN 933-11BS EN 1097-1BS EN 1097-2BS EN 1097-3BS EN 1097-4BS EN 1097-5BS EN 1097-7 BS EN 1097-8BS EN 1097-9BS EN 1097-10BS EN 1367-1BS EN 1367-2BS EN 1367-3BS EN 1367-4BS EN
