Abstract:The behaviour of unsaturated soil is quite different from those of saturated soil because of the influence of suction. Although soils are generally assumed fully saturated below the groundwater table, they may be semi saturated near the state of full saturation under certain conditions. The situation of partial saturation may be caused by several factors, such as variation of water table level due to natural or manmade processes. This study was undertaken to delineate the effects of soil water suction on the b… 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.
