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. |

Two kinds of specimens were used in the tests: unsaturated compacted specimen and pre-consolidated specimen. For compacted specimen, the powdered soil sample was mixed with the required amount of water to reach a specific water content ...
2.3 Effects of stress state and density on SWCC 2.3.1 Test procedure For wetting tests on compacted specimens by ... A specific air pressure greater than the absolute initial pore-water pressure was applied to the specimen with the mean ...
Figure 6 shows the SWCCs for two unsaturated compacted specimens A and B with different initial void ratios, obtained from drying tests under the same constant isotropic net stresses of 20 kPa. The drying tests were conducted after two ...
of triaxial shear tests were performed on compacted specimens subjected to different maximum suctions. 2.4.1 Test procedure Three specimens with the initial void ratio of about 1.27 were made by compacting the powdered Pearl clay with ...
For almost the same density, SWCC of pre-consolidated specimen is located at the right side of that of compacted one and thus the ... which can be also explained by the difference in the pore size distribution of the two specimens.
