MEASUREMENTS OF SUCTION AND WATER CONTENT DURING SATURATION OF COMPACTED EXPANSIVE SOIL

open access: yesDiyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2015
The change of climate gives fluctuation of water content in its result rain, evaporation, rising water ground level and evapotranspiration. The expansive soil will volume change and suction. This behavior can damage on construction structures especially,
