Water retention in clay soils by capillary and swelling forces.
Water in clay soils is considered to be held by capillary and swelling forces. Both forces are operative but the importance of each force depends upon the water content. This relationship was assessed from water retention, swelling pressure, and volume change studies using samples of different aggre...

| Summary: | Water in clay soils is considered to be held by capillary and swelling forces. Both forces are operative but the importance of each force depends upon the water content. This relationship was assessed from water retention, swelling pressure, and volume change studies using samples of different aggregate sizes compacted to different porosities. [...] |
