Unsaturated Shear Strength of Compacted Clayey Soil via Suction-controlled Ring Shear Testing [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 An experimental program has been undertaken to assess both peak and residual shear strength parameters of statically compacted, moderate plasticity clayey soil under suction-controlled conditions, resulting in a defined set of suction-dependent peak and ...

A study of the soil-water reliability model in the whole matric suction range
Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2022 Soil–water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are considered as a basis for analyzing fluid–solid coupling of unsaturated soil. How to estimate the SWCC over the whole region with matric suction based on the limited local datasets is challenging.

Effect of Dolomite Lime on Soil Matric Suction
Applied Research on Civil Engineering and Environment (ARCEE), 2021 The most fundamental of unsaturated soil is matric suction parameter. Matric suction in unsaturated soils plays an important role in controlling physical and mechanical properties. This parameter can influence some other important parameters of soil, such as effective stress, shear strength, swelling pressure, etc.

Mini suction probe for matric suction measurements
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2002 A modified triaxial apparatus with mini suction probes was fabricated to study the matric suction along the specimen height during unsaturated triaxial testing. Three mini suction probes were placed at 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 height of the specimen, each at 120° apart in the lateral direction. This paper presents the development of the mini probe for matric

Plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete - Roles of osmotic suction [PDF]
, 2011 Plastic shrinkage cracking of concrete occurs when the stresses arising in the concrete, due to a combination of suction and restraints of deformation such as reinforcement or formwork, equal its strength.

Deformation, strength and water variation characteristics of unsaturated compacted loess
Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022 The bearing capacity and safety of geotechnical structures are determined by the shear strength of soil. Soil is usually unsaturated in nature, and variation in unsaturated strength is very complicated.
