Soil shrinkage and cracks commonly occur during soil water characteristic curve (SWCC)
measurement. These are caused by the capacity of saline soil to retain water, which varies …

Soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a critical parameter for unsaturated soil. However,
few study can be found in literature for SWCC of loess with high soluble salt content, in …

The mix design of 3D printed concrete has adopted various types of binders and additives to
enhance its casting performance and shape stability. Matric suction, as an attractive force …

This study presents a series of model experiments conducted on single pile embedded in
saturated and unsaturated expansive soil. A soil composed of 70% bentonite and 30% sand …

In this study, the effect of saturation methods on the SWCC (soil-water characteristic curve)
values of the soil (matric suction) was investigated. The objectives of this study are making a …

The water retention properties of sulfate saline soils during cooling were investigated by
theoretical derivation as well as by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) tests and matrix …

Prediction of the coupled chemo-mechanical behaviours of porous media is an important
problem in many areas, ie., expansive clays in geotechnical and petroleum engineering …

In this study, an attempt is made to investigate the load transfer in pile groups constructed in
saturated and unsaturated soil using aluminum model piles of 20 * 20 20× 20 mm in cross …

Different salt types have different effects on the liquid water content of saline soil, resulting in
differences in the physico-mechanical properties and water/salt migration process of saline …
