Suction-Oedometer Method for Computation of Heave and Remaining Heave

Computations of heave and remaining heave require that careful consideration be given to initial and final soil suction profiles. The procedures for computing heave and remaining heave are essentially the same, with the only distinction being that when a heave prediction is made after some wetting of clay (and heave) have already occurred, it is called remaining heave. Suction measurements show that typically the pattern of degree of wetting is...
