Experimental study on the coefficient of lateral earth pressure in unsaturated soils

Accurate measurement of lateral earth pressure coefficient, k, is a key step in any geotechnical investigation. Since conventional approaches for obtaining this value leads to high risk of uncertainty in the results, this paper introduces a new experimental approach for measuring the value of k, par...
