ASTM D6836 Standard Test Methods for Determination of the Soil Water Characteristic Curve for Desorption Using a Hanging Column, Pressure Extractor, Chilled Mirror Hygrometer, and/or Centrifuge -

I have not seen this test performed too often and only some labs can do it. It is requested for a stability analysis on a waterfront structure, but not sure why this test is necessary or what additional / necessary geotechnical data will be determined compared to other tests which can be readily performed in local labs.
