Title
Standard Test Method for Measurement of Collapse Potential of Soils
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jan 10, 2003
Scope:
This test method covers the determination of the magnitude of
one-dimensional collapse that occurs
when unsaturated soils are inundated with fluid.
This test method may be used to determine the magnitude of potential
collapse that may occur for a
given vertical (axial) stress and an index for rating the potential
for collapse.
This test method specifies the technique for specimen preparation,
apparatus, and procedure for
quantifying the amount of height change associated with collapse and
procedures for reporting test
results.
The procedures given in this test method are applicable to both
undisturbed and remolded specimens.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The
inch-pound units given in
parentheses are for information only.

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.
