On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...

Impact of wetting/drying cycles on the hydromechanical behaviour of a treated soil [PDF]
The positive effects of lime or cement treatment could be altered by weathering in the very long term. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of wetting/drying cycles on the strength and the hydraulic conductivity of a ...
