The paper presents the volume change theory and the designation of associated soil properties that must be measured for an unsaturated soil. The equipment required for the measurement of each of the relevant volume relationships is described. Several testing procedures for obtaining the volume change indices during loading and unloading of an unsaturated soil are presented. Typical results from loading and unloading tests on compacted silt and compacted glacial till specimens are presented and analyzed. The analysis is given in order to illustrate the application of the volume change theory to practical problems. Key words : unsaturated soil, volume change indices, constitutive relations, coefficients of volume change, oedometer tests.
