Investigating the Impacts of Biochar Amendment and Soil Compaction on Unsaturated Hydraulic Properties of Silty Sand

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
The application of biochar as an environmentally friendly additive for agricultural soils has recently gained significant attention. However, the influence of biochar addition on unsaturated hydraulic behavior at high suction ranges (i.e., exceeding 100 ...

State-of-the-Art Review of Utilization of Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation for Improving Moisture-Dependent Properties of Unsaturated Soils

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Unsaturated soil is a form of natural soil whose pores are filled by air and water. Different from saturated soil, the microstructure of unsaturated soil consists of three phases, namely, the solid phase (soil particle), vapor phase, and liquid phase ...

Unsaturated soils in the context of tropical soils

open access: yesSoils and Rocks, 2021
Abstract The practice of geotechnical engineering in tropical climate regions must consider the use of unsaturated soil concepts. However, these concepts must also take into account the specific behavior traits of tropical soils, particularly those related to soil aggregation, pore structure, and mineralogy.

Cyclic behaviour of an unsaturated silty soil subjected to hydro-mechanical damage [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
The dynamic behaviour of unsaturated soil subjected to cyclic loading is considered using two stress state variables, net normal stress and matric suction. Though the influence of excess pore-water pressures in fully saturated soils has been investigated

Numerical analysis of evolution of the unsaturated soil micro-structure with capillary action during compression

open access: yesShuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2022
Using numerical method to investigate the evolution of micro-structure in unsaturated soil is helpful to explain their physical mechanical. However, the evolution of micro-structure in unsaturated soil is not clear.

Practical Approach for Assessing Wetting-Induced Slope Failure

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Ignoring the role of soil suction and implementing unsaturated soil mechanics when assessing slope stability in Indonesia is a common practice. One of the main reasons is due to the precognition that incorporating soil suction means using higher shear ...

Mechanical behavior and constitutive modelling of expansive soils under conditions of wetting and low confining stress

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Typical deformation and failure of expansive soils usually occur under conditions of wetting and low confining stress. However, the mechanisms of coupling between mechanical and hydrological behaviors under those conditions are still obscure.

Torsional ring shear tests on residual strength of expansive soils with different swelling potentials

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The correlation between residual strength and compositional characteristics of expansive soils with different swelling potentials is investigated. The torsional ring shear tests of Denver expansive soil with high swelling potential and Jingmen expansive ...

Unsaturated soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The paper presents a comparison between compacted and reconstituted soils in terms of microstructure, and hydraulic and mechanical response. It is commonly assumed that reconstituted and compacted soils exhibit a fundamentally different behaviour due to different microstructures.
