Unsaturated Soils: Research & ApplicationsUnsaturated Soils: Research and Applications contains 247 papers presented at 6th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils (UNSAT2014, Sydney, Australia, 2-4 July 2014). The two volumes provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical advances in a wide variety of topics related to unsaturated soil mechanics: - Unsaturated Soil Behavior Unsaturated Soils: Research and Applications presents a wealth of information, and is of interest to researchers and practising engineers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. These proceedings are dedicated to Professor Geoffrey E. Blight (1934-2013), who passed in November 2013. |

Interrelations among the soil-water retention, hydraulic conductivity, and suction-stress characteristic curves, Journal of Geotechnical and ...
Movement can be estimated if suction-depth profiles are established and the soil profile is understood. Simple tests for soil reactivity have proven useful ...
Measurement of soil suction is critical when dealing with unsaturated soils. However easy and reliable methods of measuring suction remain elusive.
In the following section, an example is given of a suction profile measured close to a large tree (E. spathulata or Swamp Mallett) on a mixed soil profile ...
5 CONCLUDING REMARKS The examples in this paper of the author's experience with soil suction reflect some development over time, with the adoption of the ...
