Soil Mechanics Considerations in Arid and Semiarid Areas

D. G. Fredlund / H. Rahardjo / W. K. Wray / P. van der Raadt / A. W. Clifton

The 9 papers in the report deal with the following areas: Soil mechanics principles for highway engineering in arid regions; The effect of climate on expansive soils supporting on-grade structures in a dry climate; Soil suction measurements at several sites in western Canada; Roadway performance in an expansive clay; Characterization of the meteorological demand for the design of vertical moisture barriers; Characterization of constrained swelling of clay; Using nondestructive testing in the semi-arid zone of Peru; Behavior and design of vertical moisture barriers; Coefficient of subgrade reaction for footings on desert sands.
