| Description | The solution of a two-dimensional volume change problem associated with an unsaturated, expansive soil is proposed in a manner consistent with the theory of unsaturated soil behavior. The elastic modulus functions must be computed from conventional laboratory test results. Procedures for the calculation of elastic modulus functions associated with an unsaturated soil are presented. Predictions of two-dimensional heave are performed in an uncoupled manner through the use of a general-purpose, partial differential equation solver, called PDEase2D. An example problem involving volume change due to changes in matric suction is used to illustrate the proposed method of volume change prediction and the use of the PDEase2D computer program.
