Proper understanding and interpretation of the performance of sand–clay liners requires the
consideration of its unsaturated behaviour. A cornerstone in the understanding of the …

Seasonal wetting and drying stress cycles can lead to long-term deterioration of high-
plasticity clay slopes through the accumulation of outward and downward deformations …

The hydromechanical behavior of compacted clayey soils is significantly influenced by its
microstructure. The microstructural void ratio is a key parameter that is strongly associated …

Soil–water retention curve (SRWC), also called soil moisture characteristic, is used for
simulation models of soil water storage or soil aggregate stability. The present study …

The ink-bottle effect, resulting from the non-uniformity of pore structure, plays a significant
role in the hydraulic behaviour of soils. In this paper, a series of laboratory tests including …

The relative hydraulic conductivity is one of the key parameters for unsaturated soils in
numerous fields of geotechnical engineering. The quantitative description of its variation law …

This paper presents a model that describes the gradual yielding of unsaturated cemented
soils subjected to isotropic loading. The model relies on the definition of a “cementation …

The interparticle bonding effect due to water menisci plays an important role in the
hydromechanical coupling properties of unsaturated soils. This paper presents an …

Soil characterisation is of primary interest for several disciplines, including geotechnical and
geo-environmental engineering, soil science, and agriculture. An upcoming and promising …
