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 …

A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling,
which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural …

Hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated expansive soils is complex, and current
constitutive models failed to accurately reproduce it. Different from conventional modelling …

Unsaturated soil behaviour, such as volume change, shear strength and yield stress, is
usually interpreted and modelled in terms of stress and suction. This approach is consistent …

This paper presents an advanced constitutive model for unsaturated soils, using Bishop's
effective stress (σ′) and the effective degree of saturation (S e) as two fundamental …

The degree of saturation (S) of soil can be separated into two components: the degree of
capillary saturation (S′) that is based on the capillary water and the degree of adsorptive …

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 study investigates the bearing capacity of strip footings resting on unsaturated soils
subjected to combined loading using the lower-bound limit analysis coupled with the finite …

This paper presents the first application of an advanced meshfree method, ie, the edge‐
based smoothed point interpolation method (ESPIM), in simulation of the coupled hydro …

Soil–vegetation–atmosphere interaction has long been known to induce significant pore
pressure variations at shallow depths and associated superficial slope movements. Recent …
