Many geotechnical projects involve unsaturated soils. Some of the examples of these are calculation of foundation settlement, bearing capacity on unsaturated clayey soils, slope stability of earth slopes and embankments, excavations. These and many other problems require good understanding of compression and shear behavior of unsaturated soils. However, unsaturated soil testing in the laboratory is not very straightforward because many labs do not have sophisticated equipment and knowledgeable personnel to conduct these tests. In this study, the main goal is to obtain unsaturated compression and shear strength properties by using slightly modified conventional geotechnical laboratory test setups. This study can be a step forward in promoting the widespread use of unsaturated soil testing in geotechnical engineering practice.
