This paper investigates the evolution of the soil-water characteristic curve (moisture content-
suction relationships, SWCC), soil shrinkage characteristic curve (moisture content-void ratio …

Due to the significant hydrophilicity and cracking properties of expansive soils, expansive
soil slopes are prone to destabilization and landslides after rainfall, seriously threatening the …

The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential parameter for studying the
mechanical properties of unsaturated tailings, and it plays an important role in stability …

An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the influence of fines content on
the hysteretic behavior of water-retention characteristic curves (WRCCs) of reconstituted soil …

This study investigates the influence of biochar amendment on the water retention and
unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K unsat) of compacted soils focusing on its potential …

The application of biopolymers for sand stabilization has recently gained attention due to
their natural composition, which makes them both environmentally friendly and of …

The soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a key constitutive relationship for unsaturated
soil which can be unimodal or bimodal. For the fine-grained compacted subgrade soil with a …

The influence of drying and wetting cycles on matric suction and volume characteristics of a
compacted low-plasticity clay soil was studied experimentally. An apparatus was developed …

Expansive soils in the field are typically exposed to cyclic wetting and drying due to climatic
fluctuations and subjected to a variety of stress conditions in nature or when used as …

In practice, it is quite common for soils to be mixed and compacted at moisture contents
lower than the optimum moisture content (OMC) or lime content less than the optimum lime …
