Designation:D4223/D4223M12Standard Practice forPreparation of Test Specimens of Asphalt-Stabilized Soils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4223/D4223M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This practice covers the selection and proportioning ofsoils and emulsified or cutback asphalts and the fabrication of100-mm 4-in.diameter by 65-mm 2.5-in.high test speci-mens.1.2 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inPractice D6026.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units presented in brackets are to be regarded sepa-rately as standard.The values stated in each system may not beexact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used inde-pendently of the other.Combining values from the two systemsmay result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3.1 The gravitational system of inch-pound units is usedwhen dealing with inch-pound units.In this system,the pound(lbf)represents a unit of force(weight)while the unit for massis slugs.The rationalized slug unit is not given,unless dynamic(F=ma)calculations are involved.1.3.2 It is common practice in the engineering/constructionprofession to concurrently use pounds to represent both a unitof mass(lbm)and of force(lbf).This implicitly combines twoseparate systems of units;that is,the absolute system and thegravitational system.It is scientifically undesirable to combinethe use of two separate sets of inch-pound units within a singlestandard.As stated,this standard includes the gravitationalsystem of inch-pound units and does not use/present the slugunit for mass.However,the use of balances or scales recordingpounds of mass(lbm)or recording in lbm/ft3shall not beregarded as nonconformance with this standard.1.4 This practice offers a set of instructions for performingone or more specific operations.This document cannot replaceeducation or experience and should be used in conjunctionwith professional judgment.Not all aspects of this practice maybe applicable in all circumstances.This ASTM standard is notintended to represent or replace the standard of care by whichthe adequacy of a given professional service must be judged,nor should this document be applied without consideration ofa projects many unique aspects.The word“Standard”in thetitle of this document means only that the document has beenapproved through the ASTM consensus process.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C117 Test Method for Materials Finer than 75-m(No.200)Sieve in Mineral Aggregates by WashingC136 Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Fine and CoarseAggregatesD8 Terminology Relating to Materials for Roads and Pave-mentsD75 Practice for Sampling AggregatesD653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD977 Specification for Emulsified AsphaltD1074 Test Method for Compressive Strength of Bitumi-nous MixturesD1188 Test Method for Bulk Specific Gravity and Density ofCompacted Bituminous Mixtures Using Coated SamplesD1559 Test Method for Resistance to Plastic Flow of Bitu-minous Mixtures Using Marshall Apparatus(Withdrawn1998)3D1560 Test Methods for Resistance to Deformation andCohesion of Bituminous Mixtures by Means of HveemApparatusD1561 Practice for Preparation of Bituminous Mixture TestSpecimens by Means of California Kneading CompactorD2026 Specification for Cutback Asphalt(Slow-CuringType)1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRock and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.15 on Stabilization WithAdmixtures.Current edition approved Jan.1,2012.Published February 2012.Originallyapproved in 1983.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as D422399(2006).DOI:10.1520/D4223_D4223M-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 D2027 Specification for Cutback Asphalt(Medium-CuringType)D2028 Specification for Cutback Asphalt(Rapid-CuringType)D2216 Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Water(Moisture)Content of Soil and Rock by MassD2397 Specification for Cati
