The soil water retention curve (SWRC) or soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a
fundamental feature of unsaturated soil that simply shows the relationship between soil …

Shales are among the most commonly considered geomaterials in current energy-related
geomechanical investigations, as they are involved in engineering applications such as the …

Part 1 of this study summarizes data for a field investigation of contaminant concentration
variability within individual, discrete soil samples (intra-sample variability) and between …

This paper studied the unsaturated shear strength properties of a soil with the gradation
characteristics of the material typically used in adobe construction. The main goal was to …

The understanding of the mechanical behavior of the unsaturated soils has been
significantly enhanced due to the recent advancement of technology and modifications to …

The work aimed to discriminate among different soil management treatments in terms of
beneficial effects by high-resolution thermal and spectral vegetation imagery using an …

Soil suction is a crucial parameter that affects the behavior of unsaturated soils. The impact
of temperature on suction can lead to significant changes in the hydromechanical response …

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 …

This study investigates the efficacy of sodium alginate (SA), xanthan gum (XG), guar gum
(GG) and chitosan (CS)—each applied at five different solid biopolymer-to-water mass ratios …

The difficulty that arises in the design of a machine foundation is how to know the behavior
of the soil at different soil conditions. Therefore, there are many indications of a need to …
