Fractional Calculus-Based Statistical Damage Model of Unsaturated Soil under the Coupling Effect of Moistening and Stress Fields

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Unsaturated soil exhibits extremely complex engineering mechanical properties under the coupling effect of moistening and stress fields. Firstly, the effective stress principle and limit equilibrium conditions of unsaturated soil under the coupling ...

A structural bounding surface constitutive model for unsaturated soils and its verification

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2022
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

open access: yesGeosciences, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 1980
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

Investigating the Impacts of Biochar Amendment and Soil Compaction on Unsaturated Hydraulic Properties of Silty Sand

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
The application of biochar as an environmentally friendly additive for agricultural soils has recently gained significant attention. However, the influence of biochar addition on unsaturated hydraulic behavior at high suction ranges (i.e., exceeding 100 ...

Determination of Soil-Water Characteristic Curves of Unsaturated Sandy Soils Using Membrane Filter with Stainless Wire Mesh [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
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

State-of-the-Art Review of Utilization of Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation for Improving Moisture-Dependent Properties of Unsaturated Soils

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Unsaturated soil is a form of natural soil whose pores are filled by air and water. Different from saturated soil, the microstructure of unsaturated soil consists of three phases, namely, the solid phase (soil particle), vapor phase, and liquid phase ...

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

open access: yes, 2003
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.
