Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for determining the water content of soil. This International Standard describes the determination of the water content of soil samples (also known as moisture content) by oven drying in the laboratory as part of geotechnical investigations. Water retention is required as an auxiliary quantity for classifying naturally deposited soils and as a criterion for controlling recompacted soils, and is determined from samples used in most field and laboratory tests. Oven drying is the usual procedure in laboratory practice. The determination of the water content of soil consists in determining the mass loss that occurs when the sample is dried to constant mass at a specified temperature in the drying oven. The mass loss is attributed to the free water and is related to the remaining dry mass of the soil components. NOTE This document meets the requirements for the determination of the water content of soil samples in geotechnical investigations and investigations according to EN 1997-1 and EN 1997-2.
