Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength of Soil-Cement Using Simple Beam with Third-Point Loading 

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is used to determine the flexural strength of soil-cement. Flexural strength is significant in pavement design and can be used to determine the thickness of pavement layers.

Note 2: The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.
