What is the water condition (temperature and chemical composition) in the CBR test?

07 July 2016 1 2K Report

I read the ASTM D 1883. In this Code only the duration of the soaking is proposed. There are other papers in which a controlled temperature for this test is introduced. Is there any idea regarding the temperature and chemical composition of the water. Is is a distilled water or tap water or anything else?

A. R. Karbassi

Dear Ebrahim

The quality of water or in general the water type is not so important in CBR tests. However, it is the best practice to use river or well water located in the area of study.

All the best
