ASTM D1195/D1195M-21 PDF Download

The ASTM D1195/D1195M-21 standard is a test method that outlines the apparatus and procedure for conducting repetitive static plate load tests on subgrade soils and compacted pavement components. This test can be conducted on the soil or pavement in either a compacted condition or natural state. The purpose of this test method is to collect data that can be used in the evaluation and design of both rigid and flexible-type airport and highway pavements.

The standard provides guidance on the equipment and steps to perform the test, ensuring consistency and accuracy. By subjecting the soil or pavement to repeated static plate loads, the test helps in determining their bearing capacity and performance under repeated loading. This information is crucial in evaluating the suitability of the soil or pavement for constructing or rehabilitating airport and highway pavements.
