In the construction project, norms and standards are the basis for the engineering survey and design of works. The utilization of specifications relates to the reliability and quality of the final result. At present, a growing number of overseas projects require to use the local standard or the American standard and European standard, but almost no domestic professionals are engaged in the American standard or European standard on the soil test. This paper focuses on the comparison of the U.S. ASTM standards and the national standards on the soil classified section, so as to serve for the overseas engineering.
