Experimental investigation of the influence of surface energy and pore fluid characteristics on the behavior of partially saturated coarse-grained soils

In this study, the behavior of partially saturated coarse-grained soil packings was studied as a function of solid surface composition and aqueous salt concentration. The substrates tested were PTFE and soda lime glass, while the aqueous electrolytes consisted of NaCl and CaCl2 in differing concent...
