Geotechnical Investigation and Testing - Laboratory Testing of Soil - Part 1: Determination of Water Content
Also Known As:
DIN EN ISO 17892-1 standard provides guidance on determining the water content of a soil test specimen in a laboratory setting using the oven-drying method. This standard is important for classifying natural soils and establishing control criteria for re-compacted soils.
The water content of a soil sample is crucial for various field and laboratory tests, and the oven-drying method outlined in this standard is considered the definitive procedure used in typical laboratory practice. By following the procedures outlined in this standard, engineers and geotechnical professionals can accurately measure the water content of soil samples and ensure consistency in test results.
This standard serves as a valuable reference for geotechnical investigations and testing, supporting the assessment and characterization of soil properties. The determination of water content is an essential step in understanding the behavior and characteristics of soils, which is crucial for various engineering projects, including foundation design, slope stability analysis, and earthworks.
