10 October 2015 1 465 Report

How tensile strength is used to determine matric suction and vice versa?

Interested please find the paper "Tensile strength of compacted clayey soil" by Chao-Sheng Tang, Xiang-Jun Pei, De-Yin Wang, Bin Shi and Jian Li. Anyone with latest update on this topic please enrich our knowledge.

Thank you.
