An unsaturated soil is a state of the soil. All soils can be partially saturated with water.
Therefore, constitutive models for soils should ideally represent the soil behaviour over …

The range of problems that geotechnical engineers must face is increasing in complexity
and scope. Often, complexity arises from the interaction between the soil and the …

Cyclic mobility is exhibited by saturated medium to dense cohesionless soils during
liquefaction, due to soil skeleton dilation at large shear strain excursions. This volume-shear …

Numerical simulation allows the modeling of soil compaction by showing the changes in the
soil's initial stress state due to external forces, such as vehicle traffic. Thus, the objective of …

We present a mathematical framework for deformation and strain localization analyses of
partially saturated granular media using three-phase continuum mixture theory. First, we …

This paper presents a complete finite‐element treatment for unsaturated soil problems. A
new formulation of general constitutive equations for unsaturated soils is first presented. In …

Rainfall weakens an earth slope in a number of ways. It increases the degree of saturation of
the soil, thereby breaking the bonds created by surface tension between the soil particles …

The objective of this paper is to present the development of an effective thermal conductivity
model for simulation of thermo-hydro-mechanical processes of geological porous media …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

This paper presents a model for the evaluation of the void ratio dependency of water
retention curve (WRC) in deformable porous media. Models currently available in the …
