An experimental investigation on the water retention behaviour of a silty soil for the computation of the lateral earth thrust on a retaining wall
Retaining structures often interact with soils in unsaturated conditions and their performance is influenced by environmental actions. Currently, geotechnical analysis and design approaches mainly consider the soils either totally dry or totally saturated. Environmental actions, like infiltration du...
