An unsaturated soil is a three-phase material that is ubiquitous on the earth's surface. The
fully saturated and completely dry states are just two limiting conditions of an unsaturated …

The study of deformable soils is one of the key factors in determining the tire, vehicle and/or
agricultural tool design parameters. This literature review provides a brief overview of soil …

Most of the previous studies on the effects of pore structure on soil water retention behaviour
are limited to a single drying and wetting cycle. This study evaluated the effects of pore …

This study investigates the influence of freeze-thaw (FT) cycles on the (i) microstructure,(ii)
soil water characteristics, and (iii) sensitivity of the volumetric strain and mechanical …

This paper investigates the volumetric, microstructural, and shear behaviours of an
expansive soil during multiple drying-wetting (DW), freeze–thaw (FT), and drying-wetting …

This paper investigates the evolution of the soil-water characteristic curve (moisture content-
suction relationships, SWCC), soil shrinkage characteristic curve (moisture content-void ratio …

This paper investigates the influence of temperature and moisture histories in terms of freeze-
thaw (FT), wetting-drying (WD), and wetting-drying-freeze-thaw (WDFT) cycles on the …

Most of the recently postulated unsaturated shear strength models have been calibrated
only for a short variety of soils. In addition, these models are yet to be extended and …

Abstract In Montane Southeast Asia, deforestation and unsuitable combinations of crops and
agricultural practices degrade soils at an unprecedented rate. Typically, smallholder farmers …

Dual-porosity structures of fine-grained soils can noticeably affect their ability to retain water.
This work jointly employs axis translation technique, filter paper method, and vapor …
