Time-dependent hydrophobic characterisation of granular materials synthesised with commercial chemical agents

The impact of hydrophobicity on unsaturated granular materials is important because suction is a function of the degree of saturation as well as the surface tension and contact angle of the water menisci. In this study, coatings have been applied on the surfaces of a quartzitic sand at different con...
