ASTM D3668-78 (R1985) PDF Download

ASTM D3668-78 (R1985) is a standard test method that specifies the procedure for determining the bearing ratio of soil-lime mixtures in a laboratory setting. The test involves compacting the mixture and comparing its penetration load to that of a standard material. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the strength and load-bearing capacity of soil-lime mixtures for various applications, such as road construction. By determining the bearing ratio, engineers and researchers can assess the suitability of soil-lime mixtures for specific projects and make informed decisions regarding their use. This standard provides a consistent and reliable method for carrying out such evaluations, ensuring accurate and comparable results.
