Effectiveness of Non-Suction Controlled Method of Wetting-Drying Cycles for Unsaturated Compacted Loess Material

Abstract:

A non-suction controlled method of wetting-drying cycles for unsaturated compacted loess material has been studied in this paper. The specimen was wetted by a sprayer and dried by air and the moisture content was controlled by measuring the specimen mass. Calculated moisture content was investigated and compared with measurement data. It can be indicated from the results that the method is effective, accurate and time-saving for controlling moisture content of compacted loess.
