Cracks in a shallow slope will increase soil infiltration capacity and sequentially affect slope
stability. To further understand the evolutionary characteristics of shallow slope stability …

Loess landslides induced by rainfall or irrigation frequently occur in the Loess Plateaus,
China, and the stress paths followed are similar to water infiltration at a constant shear …

Soil water retention curves are a key constitutive law used to describe the physical behavior
of an unsaturated soil. Various computational modeling techniques, that formulate retention …

The permeability of unsaturated silt‐sand soil is important in many geotechnical and
geoenvironmental challenges. Therefore, an appropriate method to evaluate silt‐sand soil …

RÉSUMÉ L'exploitation minière génère d'énormes quantités de rejets. On distingue deux
principaux types de rejets solides, soit les roches stériles et les résidus miniers (rejets de …

A suction-controlled ring device has been developed to continuously measure the coefficient
of lateral soil pressure in deformable unsaturated soil samples from the at-rest to the active …

This article presents the results of a laboratory test programme on two different soils,
conducted to examine the influence of the initial dry density on the soil-water characteristic …

Unsaturated permeability in soil is useful in assessment of water consumption by roots and
suction distribution in slopes, which in turn, helps in design for the stability of slopes/covers …

The soil–water characteristic curve plays a key role in the study of unsaturated soils, which is
the basis of unsaturated soil theory. In the paper, three different test methods, including the …

This article examines the critical state behaviour of an unsaturated clayey sand with respect
to the principle of effective stress in unsaturated soils. This was experimentally achieved …
