SHRINKAGE BEHAVIOUR OF COMPACTED UNSATURATED SOILS
In this paper, the shrinkage behaviour of compacted unsaturated soils are examined. Different shrinkage levels are achieved by subjecting the soils to equilibrium moisture contents under different humidity and temperatures. Volumetric shrinkage path of compacted unsaturated soils is just parallel to normal shrinkage path of saturated soils, indicating similarity in behaviour. The shrinkage limit is apparently unaffected by the path of shrinkage, whether saturated or unsaturated. (A) For the covering abstract see IRRD 881647.
