Abstract:Analysing unsaturated soil response often requires the soil-water-retention-curve (SWRC). The SWRC depends upon the soil microstructure, which evolves with hydromechanical loading such as in-situ exposure to wetting-drying cycles. If in-situ response is of interest and studied in the laboratory, it is essential specimens have a structure representative of in-situ conditions. Simulating wetting-drying cycles in the laboratory is possible albeit time-consuming and a faster alternative procedure would be preferre… Show more
