Completed

This study investigates the water-holding and strength characteristics of unsaturated expansive soil and modified soil in a high-fill canal embankment along the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. It utilizes pressure plate apparatus and GDS unsaturated triaxial test systems to analyze the soil-water characteristic curves and the effects of matrix suction on the soils' mechanical properties.
