Abstract
Moisture content is a critical factor that affects the engineering behavior of soils, especially cohesive soils. Therefore, the monitoring and determination of the water content is an essential task in an experimental study in the field of geotechnical engineering. There are different techniques and standards to measure soil water content. ASTM D2216 is a laboratory standard test method for the determination of water content of the soil widely used in the United States as well as many other places around the world.
Highlights
A conventional laboratory oven has been strongly used for a variety of applications in the industry
ASTM D2216 presents a simple method to measure the soil water content by using a conventional laboratory oven and has been used since long time ago and still is considered as essential equipment. This standard is widely used in practice in the United States as well as in many other countries around the world
The moisture content was determined for all specimens by using the oven-dry method and the halogen moisture analyzer (Figure 1)
Summary
A conventional laboratory oven has been strongly used for a variety of applications in the industry It is crucial equipment for removing the moisture in many types of soils and other material types. ASTM D2216 presents a simple method to measure the soil water content by using a conventional laboratory oven and has been used since long time ago and still is considered as essential equipment. This standard is widely used in practice in the United States as well as in many other countries around the world
