Suction Influence on Load–Settlement Curves Predicted by DMT in a Collapsible Sandy Soil

The plate load test (PLT) is the most reliable in situ testing for studying the load–settlement behaviour of footings on unsaturated collapsible soils. In these soils, the suction profile is not constant along the depth, and the scale effect between the prototype and footing leads to different sucti...
