Abstract
The collapse behaviour of a compacted soil was studied in the laboratory using a modified conventional oedometer and a tensiometer for the measurement of matric suction. The results show that collapse is a transient, continuous process. The results were used to model the volume change of a collapsible soil during wetting. The theoretical formulations derived for the model were based on unsaturated soil mechanics principles. -from Authors
