Preface: Special Issue On Laboratory And Field Testing Of Unsaturated Soils

摘要

The scope of this special issue focuses on recent advances in laboratory and field testing of unsaturated soils. Leading researchers from fourteen countries to represent global research in the area of experimental unsaturated soil mechanics have been invited to contribute to this issue. Twelve reports are presented dealing with measurement and control of suction and water content, mechanical, hydraulic, and geo-envi-ronmental testing, microstructure investigation, and applications of unsaturated soil monitoring to engineering behaviour of geo-structures.
