Unanswered questions in unsaturated soil mechanics
Science China Technological Sciences, 2013The last two to three decades have seen significant advances in the mechanics of unsaturated soils. It is now widely recognized that the fundamental principles in soil mechanics must cover both saturated and unsaturated soils. Nevertheless, there is still a great deal of uncertainties in the geotechnical community about how soil mechanics principles ...

Classical soil mechanics, as presented in 1948 by Karl Terzaghi and Ralph B. Peck in their seminal text Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice, encompasses three broad categories of soil behavior: hydraulics (flow), plastic equilibrium (stress) and settlement (volume change).Author: In first sentence of review, please consider providing a reference ...

Advances in Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
2006Most of soils above the groundwater level encountered in the engineering were in the state of non-stauration. The special soils such as loess, expansive soil and artificial fill were all typical unsaturated soils. Advances in unsaturated soil mechanics were lower than those in saturated soil mechanics.

Fundamental Challenges in Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
Springer Series in Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 2019Fundamental challenges in unsaturated soil mechanics have been identified in four major areas: quantifying internal stress state, developing a new paradigm for soil classification, developing new computational and theoretical constructs for unsaturated soil behavior, and tackling emerging problems in geotechnical engineering practice from the ...

Compaction Interpreted in the Framework of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
2015Compacted materials are fundamentally unsaturated soils whose behaviour can be expansive or collapsible depending upon changes in water content or stresses. Their behaviour is strongly dependent on matric suction, water content, and stress history. This paper presents a methodology for investigating the stress/strain, and suction/water content paths ...

Soil Mechanics of Unsaturated Soils with Fractal-Texture
2014The mechanical properties of unsaturated soils are a function of matric suction, and can be obtained based on currently available procedures. However, each procedure has its limitations and consequently cares should be taken in the selection of a proper procedure.

Osmotic Suction in Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
Unsaturated Soils 2006, 2006Experimental research was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt content and osmotic suction on suction measurements, moisture retention, and shrinkage behavior of a natural compacted clay soil. Results are presented for: (1) soil water characteristic curves (SWCCs) in terms of matric, total, and osmotic suction, and (2) unconfined shrinkage tests ...
