Experimental study of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated argillaceous rocks

The aim of this paper is to study the influence of total suction on some physical/mechanical properties related to argillaceous rocks from the Colombian Andes. A wetting path was applied to the rocks using the vapor transfer technique with continuous recording of mass and deformations. Uniaxial comp...
