Symposium on Shear Testing of Soils

This symposium will provide a forum for experts from around the world to discuss the need for new or revisions to current ASTM standards used in laboratory ring shear, direct shear, direct simple shear, and triaxial compression testing of soils, which includes specimen preparation, reconstitution, consolidation, and drainage during consolidation and shearing. This symposium also will provide a forum for experts to discuss the need for new or revisions to current ASTM standards used in field shear testing, e.g., field vane shear, T-Bar, cone penetrometer, pressuremeter, and any other field shear test.
