Influence of boundary conditions on the hydraulic-mechanical behaviour of an unsaturated swelling soil

The hydraulic-mechanical behaviour of swelling clay is examined in this thesis. The study includes laboratory testing and numerical modeling which considers the influence of boundary conditions on the hydraulic-mechanical behaviour of a compacted unsaturated swelling clay soil. The laboratory te...
