Practical Approach for Assessing Wetting-Induced Slope Failure
Applied 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 ...

Determining the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of a compacted sand-bentonite mixture under constant volume and free-swell conditions [PDF]
, 2008 Highly compacted sand-bentonite mixtures are often considered as possible engineered barriers in deep high-level radioactive waste disposals. In-situ, the saturation of these barriers from their initially unsaturated state is a complex hydro-mechanical ...

Experimental study on the cyclic resistance of a natural loess from Northern France [PDF]
, 2009 In order to analyze the instability phenomenon observed along the Northern High Speed Line of R\'eseau Ferr\'e de France (RFF), soil blocks were taken at a site near the railway, at four different depths (1.2, 2.2, 3.5 and 4.9 m).

Permeability Functions for Unsaturated Soils
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997 This paper examines the three categories of permeability functions for unsaturated soils, including empirical, macroscopic, and statistical models. The theoretical backgrounds and performance of each category are examined against various experimental data.

Compaction behaviour of clay [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents an experimental study of the compaction behaviour of non-active clay. One-dimensional static compaction tests were carried out at high and medium water content with matric suction monitoring using Trento high-capacity tensiometers. At

Uncertainty in the determination of soil hydraulic parameters and its influence on the performance of two hydrological models of different complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Data of soil hydraulic properties forms often a limiting factor in unsaturated zone modelling, especially at the larger scales. Investigations for the hydraulic characterization of soils are time-consuming and costly, and the accuracy of the results ...
