ASTM D3951

ASTM D3951 is a standardized test method used to evaluate the stability and integrity of compacted soil and asphalt mixtures. It assesses how well these materials maintain their properties under repeated loading or stress, simulating real-world conditions like traffic on roads. By performing this test, engineers can determine the durability and suitability of materials for construction projects, ensuring they will perform safely and effectively over time. Essentially, ASTM D3951 helps ensure that the materials used in infrastructure are strong, reliable, and resistant to failure under normal use.
