Reconciling soil-water retention properties and shear strength parameters of compacted clayey soils via suction-controlled ring shear testing

A preliminary experimental program has been undertaken to assess suction-controlled peak and residual shear strength properties of a statically compacted, moderate plasticity clayey soil. The experimental program was accomplished in a fully servo/suction-controlled ring shear apparatus, suitable for...
