Shear strength of a compacted residual soil from unsaturated direct shear tests

The objective of this research was to study the shear strength and volume change characteristics of a compacted residual soil from the Bukit Timah Granitic Formation in Singapore when sheared under constant suction and shearing-infiltration condition. The characteristics of pore-water pressure chang...
