Wetting and Drying of Compacted Soils under Laterally Restrained Conditions

Abstract

AbstractCompacted soils are components of geo-infrastructure applications that are unsaturated at the time of placement. Their responses to climate change, in the form of prolonged summers and wet winters, can be complex. This article examines the ...Practical ApplicationsCompacted soils are commonly used in engineering constructions for a range of applications such as subbase for roads, backfilling retaining structures, dams/dykes, and landfill liners. The compacted soils should be placed in ...
