Experimental and numerical analysis of the unsaturated soil shrinkage and swelling behaviour under different compaction conditions

Abdallah Najdi

Abstract: (English) The thesis presents part of an ongoing nvestigation on the Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) behaviour and cracking of deformable unsaturated soils undergoing cycles of drying and wetting. An experimental approach was first adopted to understand the principal mechanisms of the THM behaviour. A main principal variable is the negative porewater pressure (suction). Suction is an essential component for the constitutive relations. Direct measurements at high suction range is only possible to this date using … Show more
