Many models for unsaturated soil have been developed in the last years, accompanying the development of experimental techniques to deal with such soils. The benchmark of the models for unsaturated soil can be assigned to ...

Collapsible unsaturated soils experience large volumetric compressive deformations upon wetting. Soil collapse is a geotechnical problem that occurs in different regions of the world and profoundly impacts buildings and ...

A central goal in unsaturated soil mechanics research is to create a smooth transition between traditional soil mechanics approaches and an approach that is applicable to unsaturated soils. Undrained shear strength and the ...

Reliable estimates of the unsaturated soil hydraulic properties are needed in many research and engineering projects. Fractal based approaches have become popular for describing the hydraulic functions. New models based ...

Os solos não saturados são materiais multifásicos e de comportamento complexo que podem ser encontrados em depósitos de grande espessura onde são construídas as obras de engenharia civil. O entendimento do comportamento ...

Collapsible unsaturated soils experience large volumetric compressive deformations upon wetting. Compaction is a simple and effective soil improvement technique that could significantly reduce soil collapsibility. This ...
