Description for Unsaturated Soil Concepts and Their Application in Geotechnical Practice
Hardback. Contains contributions from leading researchers on the engineering behaviour of unsaturated soil. This book includes contributions dealing with the measurement of suction, discussions about how pore-water affects the engineering behaviour of soils and the important role played by soil-water characteristic (water retention) curves. Editor(s): Toll, D. G. Num Pages: 248 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBGG; TGMD; TNCC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 1170.
model. They conclude that the models using three fitting parameters provide the best fit over a wide range of suctions. Models for soil-water characteristic curves are only useful if we have experimental data on which to base them. Agus, Leong and Rahardjo (Singapore) present a large number of experimental soil-water characteristic curves determined for two types of residual soil from Sigapore. They present data for eight different sites. This data set allows them to relate the parameters of the soil-water characteristic curves to index properties. They conclude that the relationships derived are suitable to pro- vide a quick preliminary estimate ... Read more
