Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCollapsibility and Volume Change Behavior of Unsaturated Residual SoilAzlan A. Aziz, Faisal H. Ali, chioong F. heng et al.Residual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. In these places, the soil forming processes are still very active and the weathering development is much faster than the erosive factor. Most residual soil exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The absence of positive pore … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
