Soil-water characteristics of Gaomiaozi bentonite by vapour equilibrium technique

Soil-water characteristics of Gaomiaozi (GMZ) Ca-bentonite at high suctions (3–287 MPa) are measured by vapour equilibrium technique. The soil-water retention curve (SWRC) of samples with the same initial compaction states is obtained in drying and wetting process. At high suctions, the hysteresis b...
