The field measurements include variations in soil suction using thernlocouple psychrometers as well as the changes in moisture by means of a nuclear depth probe. Swell oedometer tests and suction measurements, in addition to soil characterization constitute the laboratory testing program. Comparison of measured heave with the predicted volume change using the oedometer and suction techniques indicates that the two methods overestimate the actual behavior.  ISSN : 1319-1047  Journal Name : Engineering Sciences Journal  Volume : 2  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1410 AH 1990 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, January 1, 2010  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عبدالمحسن الضويان DHOWIAN, ABDULMOHSIN Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  24602.pdf pdf Field Performance of Expansive Shale Formation Back To Researches Page
