Nisheeth Shrivastava,Chiranjeeb Buragohain soils show a deep modification of the physical and mechanical properties (e.g., grain size distribution, plasticity, compressibility, shear strength). A deeper insight into the above mentioned behaviour has been achieved by investigating the changes of microstructure taking place after the addition

Unlike the measurement of matric suction, whereby one can arrive at a sufficient accuracy, the accuracy in total suction measurements is questionable. Total suction measurements involve equilibration of sensors used with the rel

We present a procedure, using the dew point method, to prepare samples in the relevant suction range, measure suction and water content, and obtain an equation describing the soil water characteristic (SWC

The soil water retention curve is obtained by drying the soil either continuously or by stages (i.e. each drying stage is followed by an equalization period). Initial results from tests on compacted soil suggest that the relatively fa

In more typical tensiometers, the cavitation of the system hinders the measurement of suction with values over 100 kPa.

An understanding of the dependence of the CBR strength of local soils on water content will contribute towards better design and maintenance practices. Samples of soil from a study site were pr
