Measurements of Matric Suction and Volume Changes During Inundation of Collapsible Soil

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 1992
Abstract Reduction in soil volume due to inundation under a constant total stress is a phenomenon referred to as collapse. Collapse is exhibited by soils during a change of state from an unsaturated to a saturated condition. Several researchers have postulated various theories to explain collapse behavior.

Performance of stone columns in unsaturated soils: Numerical evaluation [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Stone columns are often designed using the conventional framework of saturated soils, ignoring the influence of in-situ unsaturated soil conditions. Such an approach contributes to unrealistic and, in certain scenarios, over-conservative designs. The key

Factors Affecting the Filter Paper Method for Total and Matric Suction Measurements

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2002
Abstract The filter paper method is used as an indirect means of measuring soil suctions. The advantages of the method include its simplicity, its low cost, and its ability to measure a wide range of suctions. The filter paper method has also been used in the field to measure soil suctions.

On the capillary stress tensor in wet granular materials

, 2011
This paper presents a micromechanical study of unsaturated granular media in the pendular regime, based upon numerical experiments using the discrete element method, compared to a microstructural elastoplastic model.

Wet Granular Materials

, 2006
Most studies on granular physics have focused on dry granular media, with no liquids between the grains. However, in geology and many real world applications (e.g., food processing, pharmaceuticals, ceramics, civil engineering, constructions, and many ...

Método del papel de filtro para la medida de la succión del suelo [PDF]

, 2007
The capillary pressure of the soil (i.e., the pressure difference between air and water components in soil voids) is a key variable in the analysis of the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils.

Conceptual development and numerical modelling of vegetation induced suction and implications on rail track stabilisation [PDF]

, 2008
The effects of tree roots on soil suction and ground settlement are investigated. This paper highlights the inter-related parameters contributing to the development of a conceptual evapo-transpiration and root water uptake equilibrium model that is then ...
