ABSTRACT

The reasons that the method has been developed are (i) to improve the quality of the reported and stored test results, (ii) to minimize the effort required to apply the method and (iii) to maximize the benefit of using the method. The method was developed with many types of geotechnical tests in mind, spanning from routine laboratory tests (e.g. a moisture content determination) through to complex centrifuge model tests. It is equally applicable to experimental activity that is conducted in the field.
