THE IMPROVEMENT OF GYPSUM SAND SOILS IN UNSATURATED CONDITIONS USING A MODIFIED OEDOMETER DEVICE
This work offers recommendations on the best percentages of CKD (Cement Kiln Dust) to use for soil stabilization to reduce compressibility problems 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% for projects where gypsum sand soil is common.

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

Long-term matric suction measurements in highway subgrades [PDF]
The performance of Thin Membrane Surface (TMS) highways is largely controlled by the strength of the subgrade soil which in turn is a function of the soil suction (Fredlund and Morgenstern, 1977).

Total, matric and osmotic suction measurement of compacted soils
Compacted soils are unsaturated and has total suction which consists of matric and osmotic suctions. The objective of this project is to measure the three types of suctions of soils compacted by different Proctor efforts and assess the interrelations ...

Matric suction, swelling and collapsible characteristics of unsaturated expansive soils
Unsaturated expansive soils are recognized as one of the most problematic soils owing to its swelling-shrinkage characteristics. The presence of such soils in highway/railway embankments, slopes and earthen dam sites manifests various critical issues ...

Stress-dependent properties of physicochemical interaction of unsaturated saline clay
To reveal the impact of physicochemical effects on the compressive behaviors of unsaturated clay containing salt solution and its dependence properties on stress level, one-dimensional compression tests are performed on the specimens with pores ...

Instrumentation and matric soil suction measurement in a decomposed granite soil slope
A field instrumentation program was carried out to measure the matric suction in a granite residual soil slope. The variation in matric suction due to changes in climatic condition was investigated to study its effect on slope stability.
