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 …

The paper presents an elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soils that takes explicitly into
account the mechanisms with which suction affects mechanical behaviour as well as their …

The paper explores the behaviour of compacted soils throughout the (dry density–water
content) compaction plane by means of a conceptual framework that incorporates …

À cause des difficultés techniques et de la longue durée de temps requises pour la mesure
de la succion et de la déformation, il existe très peu de données expérimentales sur le …

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the shear strength of a compacted non-
active clay (Speswhite kaolin). A total of 33 statically compacted specimens were prepared …

This paper presents an experimental study of the compaction behaviour of non-active clay.
One-dimensional static compaction tests were carried out at high and medium water content …

A conventional triaxial test device was modified to characterize the hydro-mechanical
behavior of a loessial soil during isotropic and shear loadings. This device is capable of …

The influence of compaction pressure, compaction water content and type of compaction
(static or dynamic) on subsequent soil behaviour during wetting and isotropic loading has …

Shear strength is one of the fundamental properties of unsaturated soils. It has been found to
change with matric suction. Various shear strength equations have been proposed for …

To date the microporosity structures of coarse soils with various coarse/fines contents are
still not fully understood. In this study, the pore-size distributions (PSDs) of five types of soil …
