Interpreting Measurements of Small Strain Elastic Shear Modulus under Unsaturated Conditions [PDF]
, 2016 Bender element testing of unsaturated isotropically compacted speswhite kaolin samples was used to investigate the variation of small strain elastic shear modulus G under unsaturated conditions. Testing was performed in a suction-controlled triaxial cell

PLOS ONE, 2021 Permeability characteristics of compacted loess is always an important topic in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This study explored the permeability characteristics of compacted loess under different dry densities and wetting-drying cycles, and found that as the dry density increases, the compacted loess surface became denser, the ...

Experimental analysis of 3D cracking in drying soils using ground-penetrating radar [PDF]
, 2017 This paper describes the capabilities of a novel technique to investigate crack formation and propagation in drying soils. The technique is a relatively simple, non-destructive indirect technique using a ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) system to detect ...

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

Giant osmotic pressure in the forced wetting of hydrophobic nanopores [PDF]
, 2015 The forced intrusion of water in hydrophobic nanoporous pulverulent material is of interest for quick storage of energy. With nanometric pores the energy storage capacity is controlled by interfacial phenomena.

Thermal and Hydraulic Properties of Sandy Soils during Drying and Wetting Cycles
New Frontiers in Geotechnical Engineering, 2014 There is an increasing interest in the use of Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHPs) as a source of renewable energy in temperate countries. GSHPs coupled with buried heat collectors can harness the thermal energy from near-surface soils to provide the heating required for domestic properties.
