Methods of computation for soil heave based on an “equivalent” net normal stress path approach often have built-in assumptions regarding the relationship between in situ matric suction, overburden stress, and swell pressure. The term “matric su

The demerits of level surveys for assessing foundation movements associated with moisture-induced volume change of soils have been well discussed and debated in the literature. In spite of the limitations of level surveys, and the associated strong d

In assessing the probable settlements of a heat generating structure on unsaturated soil three stress state variables that are of key importance are (a) temperature, (b) net normal stress, and (c) soil suction. Neglect of or substantial error in eval

The efficacy of removal and replacement as a mitigation alternative for expansive soil is discussed in view of numerical unsaturated flow/deformation results. Observations with respect to selection of depth and replacement soil type (similar, more, o

Field sampling was performed at a number of residential structures in the Denver metropolitan area for the purpose of assessing the extent of wetting below residential structures after construction and commencement of landscape irrigation. Total suct
