A new isotropic cell for studying the thermo-mechanical behavior of unsaturated expansive clays

Description : This paper presents a new suction-temperature controlled isotropic cell that can be used to study the thermo-mechanical behavior of unsaturated expansive clays. The vapor equilibrium technique is used to control the soil suction; the temperature of the cell is controlled using a thermostat bath. The...
