Unsaturated soils in the context of tropical soils
Soils and Rocks, 2021 Abstract The practice of geotechnical engineering in tropical climate regions must consider the use of unsaturated soil concepts. However, these concepts must also take into account the specific behavior traits of tropical soils, particularly those related to soil aggregation, pore structure, and mineralogy.
