 For those of you are interested, there were a number of ASTM standards updated in the last two months that apply to geotechnical engineering, soils testing, concrete, aggregate and other materials testing topics. Unfortunately the only way to see what changed is to buy the updated standards. If there are any significant changes that affect the state of the practice in our industry, I hope someone will let us know and we can post a summary here on GeoPrac for the benefit of all. In the mean time, I only highlight newly approved standards or re-approved standards, not work items. Click through for a list.
For a complete list of the most current standards, refer to the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) website.
