ASTM D4546-21 the current international standard for laboratory measurement of one-dimensional wetting-induced swell or collapse (hydrocompression) in unsaturated soils
Simulates the conditions of compacted fills. Multiple identical specimens are loaded under various stresses and then wetted to determine free swell, swell pressure, and load-dependent swell/collapse curves. Test Method B Intact (Natural/Undisturbed)
