Geotechnics. Lab tested.
Geotechnics was selected by the ASTM Institute for Standards Research (ASTM/ISR) to participate in a prestigious comprehensive inter-laboratory testing program. The program was designed to obtain reliable estimates of testing precision, reproducibility, and repeatability. The research project compared data from general classification testing as well as triaxial and direct shear, unconfined compression, compaction, one-dimensional consolidation and permeability testing.
