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. |

collapse, and thus practical means to quantify effective stress or suction stress under unsaturated conditions. 2 NON-FAILURE TECHNIQUES FOR QUANTIFYING SSCC 2.1 SSCC from K0 consolidation tests Oh et al. (2013) demonstrated that the ...
A power law for elastic moduli of unsaturated soil, Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 140(1), 46–56. Lu, N., and Kaya, M. (2012). A drying cake method for measuring suction-stress characteristic curve, ...
D.A. Cameron School of Natural and Built Environments, University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes Campus, Adelaide, South Australia ABSTRACT: The importance of soil suction on the behaviour of unsaturated geomaterials is widely ...
Measurement of soil suction is critical when dealing with unsaturated soils. However easy and reliable methods of measuring suction remain elusive. The filter paper method for measurement of matric suction would seem to be the simplest ...
suction during the dry months of the year and so the roots of these plants find water at greater depths. In the semi-arid climate of Adelaide, a tree may dry soil to about 4 m depth while trees competing against other trees in groups or ...
