Compacted layers of expansive soils are used in different engineering projects, such as
subgrades, engineered clay barriers, and buffers for radioactive waste disposal. These …

This work presents an experimental study of the hydromechanical behavior of a natural
swelling soil taken from Boumagueur region east of Algeria. Several pathological cases due …

This article presents a new osmotic oedometer that is able to measure changes in the
degree of saturation (Sr) during suction-controlled drying-wetting and oedometric tests. A …

This work is divided into two parts. In the first part, we are mainly interested in the detailed
description and the geological, hydrogeological, climatological and geotechnical …
