These methods of test cover procedures for determining the soil-cement losses@ moisture changes@ and volume changes (swell and shrinkage) produced by the repeated wetting and drying of hardened soil-cement specimens. The specimens are compacted in a mold@ before cement hydration@ to maximum density at optimum moisture content using the compaction procedure described in T 134. Two methods@ depending on soil gradation@ are covered for preparation of material for molding specimens and for molding specimens as follows: Method A??Using soil material passing the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. This method shall be used when 100 percent of the soil sample passes the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. See Sections 4 to 6. Method B??Using soil material passing the 19.0-mm (?-in.) sieve. This method shall be used when part of the soil sample is retained on the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. See Sections 7 to 9. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
