Title: | Effect of confining pressure on soil-water characteristic curves | Authors: | Liu, Fang Ming. | Keywords: | DRNTU::Engineering::Civil engineering::Geotechnical | Issue Date: | 2013 | Abstract: | Drying and wetting soil-water characteristic curves at different net confining pressure were obtained for two sandy soils using Tempe cell and Permeability cell. The data were fitted into soil-water characteristic curve equation using a least square algorithm.The effects of net confining pressure on the shapes of soil-water characteristic curves and soil-water characteristic curve equation parameters were investigated. The result shows that higher net confining pressure gives larger air-entry value, residual matric suction, water-entry value and smaller hysteresis loop.The study also found that air-entry value has linear correlation with soil-water characteristic curve parameter 'a'. No apparent correlation between residual matric suction and parameter 'm' was obtained. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10356/52843 | Schools: | School of Civil and Environmental Engineering | Rights: | Nanyang Technological University | Fulltext Permission: | restricted | Fulltext Availability: | With Fulltext |
