Influence Of Osmotic Suction On The Swell And Compression Behaviour Of Compacted Expansive Clays
Total suction of unsaturated soils is contributed by matric and osmotic suctions. Matric suction arises from capillary actions in the soil structure and varies with changes in moisture content of the soil. Pore fluid osmotic suction is related to the dissolved salt content in soil water (soil water...
