| Summary: | Unsaturated soil mechanics can be regarded as a significant breakthrough in
geotechnical engineering. The theoretical framework for unsaturated soil
mechanics has been well established and is still currently being developed.
However, the theoretical advancements have not been paralleled by the
development of its experimental verification. A specialized consolidation apparatus
for unsaturated soil was developed and fabricated by Rahardjo and Fredlund
(1995; 1996; 2003), and a redesign of this apparatus was conducted by Budiarto
(2023) with the means of simplification. The simplified apparatus was developed
and fabricated into an unsaturated soil consolidation apparatus that can be utilized
for unsaturated consolidation testing on compacted, crushed clay shale samples. In
addition to that, a regression method for the Brooks and Corey SWCC model (1964)
was also developed into a programming algorithm using the steepest descent
method, based on the derivation of the regression equation for the same model by
Budiarto (2023).
