Test Method Title
Standard Method of Test for Determining Minimum Laboratory Soil Resistivity
Reference Number
AASHTO T 288
Material
Soil
Test Property
minimum soil resistivity, minimum soil electrical resistivity
Description of Test
The electrical resistivity is measured on an air dried specimen of the soil. The test is repeated by adding 100 mL of distilled water, mixing, and re-placing the soil in the test apparatus. This process is repeated until a minimum value of resistance is found.
