While there are many commercially available stormwater treatment products currently on the market, there is no universal testing standard that would allow the performance of these products to be accurately compared. A proposed new ASTM International standard will fill this need, providing a testing method for stormwater treatment products that use filtration as a primary treatment process. ASTM…

While the use of internally cured concrete in construction is not new, there is now better understanding of the internal curing process and why IC using pre-wetted lightweight aggregate increases concrete durability and service life in an economical and practical way. However, there is not currently a standard for lightweight aggregates for internal curing. ASTM International Committee C09 on…
