Revisiting the thermodynamics of hardening plasticity for unsaturated soils [PDF]

, 2010
A thermodynamically consistent extension of the constitutive equations of saturated soils to unsaturated conditions is often worked out through the use a unique 'effective' interstitial pressure, accounting equivalently for the pressures of the ...
