Theory of Moisture Movement in Expansive Clays
The report provides a theoretical basis for further studies of swelling clays and the processes of moisture movement in them. Equations are proposed and questions are raised, the answers to which will lead to a more comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the structural behavior of expansive clay. The differential equation for flow of moisture in an unsaturated medium is derived and two alternative forms of this equation are considered. One describes a diffusion of suction, and the other uses a diffusion of volumetric moisture content. The advantages of each procedure are discussed. (Author)
