The combination of splitting tensile strength and unconfined compression tests on unsaturated soils to measure the evolution of unsaturated shear strength
Abstract:The paper presents experimental results from unconfined compression and splitting tensile tests used in combination in order to estimate the cohesion intercept of unsaturated soils. Samples of different soils in the form of slurry were subjected to various suction values using the axis translation technique in a pressure plate extractor and then these samples were removed and subjected to unconfined compression and splitting tensile tests. Mohr’ circles for the two loading conditions were drawn and the tangent… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
