Contribution of osmotic suction to shear strength of unsaturated high plasticity silty soil
The engineering behaviour of unsaturated soils is affected by suction. It is widely accepted that soil suction consists of two major components: matric and osmotic suctions. Matric suction is associated with the capillary effects whereas osmotic suction is associated with the salt content of the por...
