Experimental Investigation of the Soil-Water Characteristic Curves (SWCC) of Expansive Soil: Effects of Sand Content, Initial Saturation, and Initial Dry Unit Weight

Experimental Investigation of the Soil-Water Characteristic Curves (SWCC) of Expansive Soil: Effects of Sand Content, Initial Saturation, and Initial Dry Unit Weight

Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an essential parameter in unsaturated soil mechanics, and it plays a significant role in geotechnical engineering to enhance theoretical analysis and numerical calculations. This study investigated the effects of key factors, such as the percentage of sand,...
