Site investigation and in situ tests Index 401 v List of symbols The symbols used in the text conform, as far as possible, with the recommendations of BS 1991: Part 4: 1961. Other symbols have been chosen to conform generally with established usage. The reader should notice that, in conformity with BS 1991, the bulk density (y) has, throughout this book, been defined as the weight density or unit weight (that is, the gravitational force per unit volume, measured here in kN/m 3 ).
