Those of us in the geotechnical profession use ASTM Standards on a daily basis. It’s hard to keep up with changes, so I have brought back a GeoPrac.net feature I had a number of years ago where I post regular digest updates to the ASTM standards of importance to geotechnical engineers and lab managers, etc. This list focuses on standards tagged by ASTM as geotechnical, as well as geosynthetics, and work items for Committees D18 and D35 (Soil and Rock, and Geosynthetics, respectively).
