Coupled hydraulic, mechanical and dielectric investigations on kaolin

What is it about?

Linking soil shrinkage – soil water retention – high frequency electromagnetic (HF-EM) properties of soils. 3 dimensional finite element modelling for vertical sensitivity of the open ended probe. Forward and inverse approaches to link HF-EM and hydro-mechanical behaviour of kaolin during shrinkage. Estimation of saturated part of the soil shrinkage curve using Augmented Broadband Complex dielectric Mixture model. Linear relationship between cementation exponent and soil suction.
