The procedure involved molding cylindrical specimens of soil-cement at optimum moisture content and maximum density, followed by a curing period. After curing, the specimens were subjected to repeated cycles of freezing and thawing. The standard required specific apparatus, including a freezing cabinet capable of maintaining low temperatures and a water bath for the thawing phase. The core measurement criteria for the test were the weight loss of the specimen after brushing, the moisture content, and the visual observation of structural integrity. If a specimen lost a significant percentage of its weight or showed signs of cracking and spalling, the cement content was deemed insufficient, prompting a re-test with higher cement ratios.
