AASHTO T 92-97 (2005) PDF Download

The AASHTO T 92-97 (2005) standard provides a procedure for obtaining data necessary for calculating various soil characteristics. These characteristics include the shrinkage limit, shrinkage ratio, volumetric change, and lineal shrinkage. The standard outlines a specific method for determining these factors in soils. By following the procedures outlined in this standard, engineers and researchers can obtain accurate data regarding a soil's shrinkage behavior. This information is crucial for understanding the volume changes that soils undergo during the drying process and for designing structures that take into account these shrinkage factors.
