Matric Suction Creep Characteristics of Reticulated Red Clay
KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018 Matric suction creep is the creep of unsaturated soil caused by loading constant matric suction. Matric suction creep characteristics of reticulated red clay with constant net confing pressure and step-loading matric suction was studied using stress-controlling unsaturated triaxial test apparatus.
