This method describes a basic test procedure applicable to cohesive soils and sets out a procedure for determining the compressive strength of a specimen of soil in the triaxial compression apparatus under conditions in which the cell pressure is maintained constant, and in which there is no change in the total water content of the specimen (see Notes 1 and 2). The test is limited to specimens in the form of right cylinders of height approximately equal to twice the diameter of the cylinder (see Notes 3 and 14). Cohesionless materials may be tested by triaxial methods; however, special techniques are required for the specimen preparation, for which information can be obtained from the reference source (see Note 4). The specific conditions of any test procedure are defined by a geotechnical engineer who ensures the test method is appropriate for the data required.
