AASHTO T92 Standard Test Method for Determining the Shrinkage Factors of Soils

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of AASHTO T92 testing. This standard provides data from which the shrinkage limit, shrinkage rate, volumetric variation and linear shrinkage soil properties can be calculated.

AASHTO T92 Standard Test Method for Determining the Shrinkage Factors of Soils

The AASHTO T 92 test involves immersing a cylindrical sample of the bituminous mixture in water for a specified period of time and then subjecting it to a series of repeated compression stress cycles.

The test measures the loss of strength of the mixture due to the effects of moisture and determines the susceptibility of the mixture to damage caused by moisture.

AASHTO T 92 is just one of many test methods used in the design and construction of roads and highways, but it is important for evaluating the durability of bituminous mixtures in wet conditions.

Determining the shrinkage factor of soils is essential in a variety of applications such as earth dams, embankments and other earth structures, as well as agricultural and geotechnical engineering. The shrinkage factor is also used to calculate soil water retention curves, which are necessary to predict the behavior of soils under different moisture conditions.
