Soil suction |
Secondary abstract: |
Suction is pore water pressure in unsaturated soils and influences other soil characteristics.
Suction measurements for 4 different soils (bentonite, stone flour, gray clay “sivica” and
brown clay “flysch”) are presented. Measurements were performed on compacted and loose
material at different water contents using 4 different methods: WP4 dewpoint potentiometer,
filter paper, tenziometer and pressure plate apparatus. Additionally the water adsorption was
determined for loose materials. Results were interpreted using 4 models describing SWCC.
To describe the practical use of soil suction in geotechnical engineering the oedometer test of
“sivica” clay with wetting of the sample. For the given case the time relation of heaving was
compared to the calculated heave. |
