A structural bounding surface constitutive model for unsaturated soils and its verification
Most soils have both unsaturated and structural properties. The establishment of a constitutive model of unsaturated soils considering the structure is of great significance for analyzing the mechanical properties of unsaturated soils.

A Numerical Model to Study the Response of Piles under Lateral Loading in Unsaturated Soils
The interaction between a laterally loaded pile and the surrounding soil is typically limited to the shallower soil layer. Often, this zone is above the water table and therefore the interaction takes place under unsaturated conditions.

Experimental Study on Determining Unsaturated Property of Soil [PDF]
This paper deals with the experimental study of hydraulic properties of unsaturated soil. In treating unsaturated zone, a great deal more data are required than are required for the saturated zone, but these properties of soils must be known to apply the

Determination of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves of Unsaturated Sandy Soils Using Membrane Filter with Stainless Wire Mesh [PDF]
Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an important soil function in an unsaturated soil mechanics field for design and analyses of any unsaturated earth structures. Determination of SWCC is not easy and more so time consuming. Generally, ceramic disc

An elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soil incorporating the effects of suction and degree of saturation on mechanical behaviour [PDF]
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 dependence on degree of saturation.
