Fig. 5. Comparison between the different measurements of the structural parameters required for the swelling curve equation: a) water contents at particular points of the shrinkage curve, WN, WM, WL, and b) the slope of the basic shrinkage phase Kbs. Parameters of the non altered soil core sample replication are put on the X-axis while on Y-axis are reported the measurements of the reconstructed aggregated soil corresponding to the shrinkage curves of the two cycles R1 and R2.
