Effects of sample dimensions and shapes on measuring soil–water characteristic curves using pressure plate
It is well known that soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) plays an important role in unsaturated soil mechanics, but the measurement of SWCC is inconvenient. In laboratory it requires days of testing time. For fine-grained clays, it may last for a couple of months using pressure plate tests. In t...
