Answer: B - Membrane filtration is not a common in-situ test conducted to evaluate a soil’s engineering properties of a soil sample. Membrane filtration analysis is a method used to test water samples to test for the presence of bacteria indicator organisms. The standard penetration and cone penetration tests are the most commonly used tests to evaluate soil samples. The procedures for conducting these tests are described in American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and ASTM International (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) standards.
