Collapsible soils are present in arid and semi-arid regions in an unsaturated state and are
considered to be one of the problematic soils that face engineering and geotechnical …

This paper presents laboratory experiments on the effect of matric suction on the
compressibility of unsaturated gypsum sand soil. The samples were obtained from Al-Najaf …

This recent paper is focused on the effect of multiple matric suctions (90, 50, 20, 10, 7, 2, and
0 kPa) on gypseous sand in the short-term on the deformation of the Oedometer cell …

This study looks into the influence of matric suction on the volume change of gypsum sand
soil in unsaturated conditions. The specimens were collected from Al-Najaf, Iraq, and …

This study examines the impact of varying soaking durations on collapse potential (CP)
within gypsum sand soil containing 29% gypsum content. It explores the enhancement of CP …

Accurate prediction of the soil shear strength parameters is essential in the reliable
geotechnical design of civil engineering structures. This recent paper investigates the effect …

Gypseous soil covers approximately 30% of Iraqi lands and is widely used in geotechnical
and construction engineering as it is. The demand for residential complexes has increased …

This paper investigates the water volume changes in gypseous sand soils within the change
in matric suction and under different stress levels. The present research aims to examine …

This study presents the impact of chloride ion present in the soil in contact with reinforced
concrete in the initiation of corrosion of steel reinforcement. The factors affecting the …

The soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) demonstrates a link between soil moisture
content and suction. The SWCC is almost treated as an index parameter in unsaturated soil …
