ASTM E850 – Standard Guide forCharacterization of Inorganic Process Wastes for Use as Structural Fill (Withdrawn 2019)

1.1 This guide provides guidance for use of selected process wastes as structural fills by listing representative test methodsfor predicting and evaluating those physical characteristics of waste thatare related to the integrity of fills and to protection of ground and surfacewaters.

1.2 Table 1 lists references which provide engineering practices and test procedures that may be applied to process wastefor use as structural fill.

1.3 This guide includes approaches for the environmental assessment of process wastes prior to application.
