Abstract
The state of the art is summarized for the evaluation of the stress, strain and strength properties of soils in terms of appropriate test equipment, test procedures and the presentation of test results in both the laboratory and the field. Different testing requirements for measuring soil properties for l) design and analysis problems and 2) for constitutive property modeling are compared and recommendations on minimum test result reporting requirements are given. In addition, methods for overcoming equipment and test procedure limitations are presented. The importance of combining field and laboratory test results is stressed and ways to make more extensive use of geophysical test measurements to obtain insitu soil properties are summarized. On a site specific basis, it appears that geophysical test results may correlate well with many soil index properties and measures of insitu soil dynamic properties. Thus, much useful site information may be obtained by combining a limited geophysical test program and a more extensive traditional site investigation program.
