Project description
For the stability and reliability of buried structures, soil moisture content plays a vital role. This study examines SWRCs of remolded and undisturbed soils using filter paper and Hyprop methods. It explores how kaolinite-sand mixtures influence corrosion rates, linking moisture content and air transition point. Corrosion rates will be assessed through weight loss, X-ray, and SEM-EDX analysis.
