Abstract: Compacted soils wetted under load can both swell and collapse (subside) depending on their condition and the magnitude of the vertical overburden stress. One‐dimensional compression tests were conducted to clarify the ...

Abstract: A“double‐triaxial” test procedure similar to the double‐oedometer test was developed to determine the wetting‐induced collapse potential of soils subjected to anisotropic stress states. Based on a series of double‐triaxial ...
