Description

 This paper proposes a testing method for evaluating the effect of water content on the deformation-strength characteristics of unsaturated base course materials. A medium-size triaxial apparatus for unsaturated soils was newly developed in order to examine the mechanical behavior of unsaturated base course materials subjected to fluctuation in water content and to shorten the testing time. Results show that the proposed testing method carried out on this apparatus conform well to the results of previous researches. This indicates that the medium-size triaxial apparatus is highly useful at triaxial compression tests and water retention tests of unsaturated granular base course materials and in shorten the total testing time.
