Soil microstructure affects the physical and mechanical properties of a loess; current
methods used for measuring pore size distribution (POSD) inside loess samples, however …

To predict the soil–water characteristic curve (ie SWCC) of natural and remoulded Malan
loess from soil physical properties, one-point methods for determining the SWCC that are …

During the long-term operation of deep geological repository of high-level radiational waste,
the chemical environment causes changes to the pore structure of the buffer/backfill …

Multiple consolidation-permeability tests were performed on loess samples from the South
Jingyang Plateau in northwest China to analyze permeability under actual stresses. Three …

Natural loess usually experiences mechanical wetting and hydraulic wetting in situ
conditions. In this paper, the difference of soil water retention curves of natural loess along …

The paper presents a physically-based constitutive model for unsaturated soils that
considers the bonding effect of water menisci at inter-particle contacts. A bonding factor has …

This study develops a generalized constitutive model to describe hydraulic properties of
soils that consider the soil heterogeneity and water distribution. In this model, pore size …

Unsaturated soil-continuum interfaces determine the behavior of structures such as friction
piles embedded in unsaturated soil and retaining walls with unsaturated backfill. Developing …

The unsaturated permeability coefficients are often used to solve geotechnical problems
associated with unsaturated soils. But it is very difficult to measure. However, the …

In the management of light non–aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL)‐contaminated ground,
numerical simulation is widely used to analyze LNAPL flow in the unsaturated soil (vadose) …
