Instrumented model slope to investigate the influence of rainfall and slope gradient on matric suction

open access: yesJurnal Ilmiah SINERGI
Prior researchers indicated that prolonged and heavy rainfalls primarily trigger major landslides in Malaysia. This study was carried out to investigate the influence of rainfall on the matric suction of silty sand slopes through a small-scale model.

Creep behavior of unsaturated reticulate red clay under matric suction

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
In order to study unsaturated creep behaviors of reticulate red clay under matric suction, a series of isotropic creep tests with different matric suction level were carried out by using Geotechnical Digital Systems (GDS) unsaturated apparatus. Results indicate that creep strain caused by matric suction increases with the increasing of matric suction ...

Pile-Soil Interaction in Unsaturated Soil Conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The degree of saturation has been proven to significantly affect geotechnical engineering designs for foundations. The changes in water content will influence the way the soil behaves, including its strength and stiffness parameters.

Reconciling soil-water retention properties and shear strength parameters of compacted clayey soils via suction-controlled ring shear testing

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
A preliminary experimental program has been undertaken to assess suction-controlled peak and residual shear strength properties of a statically compacted, moderate plasticity clayey soil. The experimental program was accomplished in a fully servo/suction-

Variation in principal curvature of air-water interface inside and outside shear band of dense unsaturated sand [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Triaxial compression tests were conducted on dense unsaturated sand specimens under constant suction and constant water content conditions. X-ray micro-computed tomography (CT) scans were performed at different deformation stages to visualize the ...

Capillary geochemistry in non-saturated zone of soils. Water content and geochemical signatures. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
International audienceThe unsaturated zone (UZ) retains aqueous solutions against gravity by capillary forces. This suction state corresponds to a decreasing internal pressure of the water, which modifies its thermodynamic properties.
