This Standard sets out a method for conducting a swell test and a simplified core shrinkage test on companion samples of undisturbed soil. Soil suction determinations are not essential to the method. The method is applicable to samples with any initial moisture content but is particularly useful for determining the shrinkage index (see AS 2870) of soils sampled in an initially dry state.
