ASTM International’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) has developed a new standard that will aid real estate developers with preliminary karst terrain assessment. Karst is a type of terrain characterized by sinkholes, caves, sinking streams and large springs, which is a consequence of the presence of soluble bedrock such as limestone. The new standard provides a protocol for karst assessments that…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11748 ###
