Abstract
The experimental work presented in the paper explores the soil-water characteristic curve and the evolution of tensile and unconfined compression strength of drying slurried soils. The axis translation technique and the saturated salt solutions method were employed for matric and total suction control respectively. Tensile strength was determined using the splitting tensile (brazilian) test.
