Implication

Empirical-experimental analysis reveals how matric suction affects shear strength and elastic modulus in unsaturated soils, suggesting practical applications.

Key Points

Higher matric suction enhances shear strength and stiffness in unsaturated soil layers, particularly in reconstituted samples.
A three-dimensional plot indicates the complex relationship between matric suction, shear strength, and normal stress under varying conditions.
Undisturbed samples showed greater variability in shear strength and elastic modulus due to natural soil heterogeneity and macrostructure.
This study proposes a cost-effective methodology for evaluating key properties of unsaturated soils, with insights for practical application.
