The scope of unsaturated soil mechanics: an overview
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized soil mechanics for both saturated and unsaturated soils is presented, which is applicable for dealing with the soil of the underground zone in a consistent manner (i.e., the saturated zone and the unsaturated zone should not be treated in isolation).
Journal ArticleDOI
Instrumentation of an Unsaturated Expansive Soil Slope
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive instrumentation and monitoring program was carried out on an 11m high cut slope in Hubei of China, which included jet-filled tensiometers, thermal conductivity suction sensors, moisture probes, earth pressure cells, inclinometers, vertical movement points, artificial rainfall simulator, a tipping bucket rain gage, a vee-notch flow meter, and an evaporimeter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Prediction of Volume Change in an Expansive Soil as a Result of Vegetation and Environmental Changes
Delwyn G. Fredlund,V. Q. Hung +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model is presented to predict the volume change in an expansive soil as a result of vegetation and environmental changes, based on the general theory of unsaturated soil behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air Volume Change Measurement in Unsaturated Soil Testing Using a Digital Pressure-Volume Controller
TL;DR: In this paper, a digital pressure-volume controller was evaluated as an air volume change indicator for unsaturated soils and the results showed that the controller performed satisfactorily as a measurement device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-dependent unsaturated behaviour of geosynthetic clay liners
A.S. Acikel,Will P. Gates,Rao Martand Singh,Abdelmalek Bouazza,Delwyn G. Fredlund,R. K. Rowe +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three different chilled-mirror hygrometer test procedures were developed to investigate the time-dependent unsaturated behaviour of powdered and granular bentonite based needle-punched geosynthetic plants.
