ASTM D7300-06
Historical Standard: ASTM D7300-06 Standard Test Method for Laboratory Determination of Strength Properties of Frozen Soil at a Constant Rate of Strain
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D7300
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the strength behavior of cylindrical specimens of frozen soil, subjected to uniaxial compression under controlled rates of strain. It specifies the apparatus, instrumentation, and procedures for determining the stress-strain-time, or strength versus strain rate relationships for frozen soils under deviatoric creep conditions.
1.2 Values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
