WK91133 - New Test Methods for Moisture-Density (Unit Weight) Relations of Soil-Lime Mixtures

Work Item

ASTM WK91133

New Test Methods for Moisture-Density (Unit Weight) Relations of Soil-Lime Mixtures

1. Scope

These test methods cover the determination of the relationship between the water content and the density of soil-lime mixtures when mellowed and compacted as prescribed.

Keywords

compaction; dry density; mellow period; optimum water content; soil-lime; soil modification; soil stabilization; unit weight

Rationale

This method, which covers soil-lime mixtures, has the same industry need as the existing D558-19, but outlines the best practices when using lime as opposed to cement in soil.
