Based on an extensive list of research work, expansive soil is renowned for its swelling-
shrinkage property. Despite the wealth of research, the strength characteristics of expansive …

Modeling the behavior of unsaturated soils necessitates the measurement of soil suction
and the establishment of its variation with the water content, which is commonly known as …

The behaviour of an expansive soil was studied through a number of experiments involving
cycles of wetting and drying. Laboratory tests were conducted on compacted samples of an …

This paper presents the driving factors for the interlayer creation and mud pumping
phenomena in railway sub-structure. Physical model tests on a ballast layer overlying a sub …

The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC), also known as soil water retention curve
(SWRC), describes the relationship between water content and soil suction in unsaturated …

Soil suction, an important parameter in the safety and risk assessment of geotechnical and
green infrastructures, is greatly affected by plants and weather in the shallow soil layers of …

In the last 15 years, a series of catastrophic flowslides involving pyroclastic unsaturated soils
has caused severe damage and a number of fatalities in the Campania region (southern …

The influences of root concentration and suction were investigated on Chrysopogon
zizanioides (vetiver grass) root-reinforcement of clayey sand, using suction-monitored direct …
