PLASTIC CRACKING OF CONCRETE – THE ROLES OF OSMOTIC AND MATRIC SUCTION [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Plastic cracking of concrete is primarily attributable to desiccation by evaporation from unprotected surfaces. This causes high matric suctions to develop in the pore water in the voids adjacent to these surfaces. Dissolved salts in the pore water generate osmotic suctions. However, the effects of these suctions on the strength of plastic concrete are

Effect of Matric Suction on Monotonic and Cyclic Behaviour of a Low-Plastic Silty Soil from Sakarya Region [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Shallow soil layers subjected to seasonal wetting and drying cycles are typically located above the groundwater table and experience negative pore water pressures. Many geotechnical problems are associated with the behaviour of these soils.

Experimental study on failure mode and lateral earth pressure distribution of unsaturated sand behind retaining walls under active translation mode

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
Under the active translation mode, a series of laboratory model tests on the active earth pressure against rigid retaining walls with different wall roughnesses and water contents of backfill are carried out, in which the matric suction and earth ...

Study on Soil Water and Suction Stress Characteristics for Unsaturated Clay Soil of Airport Engineering Based on Laboratory Tests

open access: yesGeofluids, 2021
For the unsaturated soil in Feidong China, this study examined the suction stress characteristics based on the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), which was different from traditional research ideas.

Measurement of Matric Suction Using Tensiometric and Axis Translation Techniques [PDF]

open access: yesGeotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2008
Experimental equipment for the measurement of matric suction in unsaturated soils using hydraulic tensiometers and the axis translation technique share a common working principle; that is, the measurement of a pressure differential across a high air entry porous ceramic.

Investigating the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated sand-bentonite mixtures using suction-controlled triaxial test

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
Soil improvement is often done through mixing the granular soils with fine-grained materials to obtain densified soil matrix and eventually increase the bearing capacity of the soil.
