Practical Approach for Assessing Wetting-Induced Slope Failure

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Ignoring the role of soil suction and implementing unsaturated soil mechanics when assessing slope stability in Indonesia is a common practice. One of the main reasons is due to the precognition that incorporating soil suction means using higher shear ...

Mechanical behaviors and constitutive model for unsaturated soils

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
The ground surface soils are almost unsaturated, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, and the engineering problems of unsaturated soils cannot be properly explained and dealt with by the saturated soil mechanics and the relevant experimental means ...

Dilatancy Characteristics and Constitutive Modelling of the Unsaturated Soil Based on Changes in the Mass Water Content

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Most soil mechanics theories are limited to strain hardening and shrinkage under high compressive stresses, and there are some shortcomings in the selection of suction or degree of saturation as the water content state varies in the constitutive models ...

Mechanical behavior of a floating model pile in unsaturated expansive soil associated with water infiltration: Laboratory investigations and numerical simulations

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 2021
Pile foundations are widely designed extending principles of saturated soil mechanics assuming drained conditions (i.e. effective stress) even in expansive soil deposits despite the fact the soil around the pile is in a state of unsaturated condition ...

A numerical technique for modeling the behavior of single piles in unsaturated soils [PDF]

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2021
Pile foundations are widely used in both saturated and unsaturated soils. In certain scenarios, these foundations are subjected to combined vertical and lateral loads.

An objective framework for determination of the air-entry value from the soil–water characteristic curve

open access: yesResults in Engineering, 2021
The air-entry value (AEV) suction, marking the transition between saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics, is arguably the most important parameter interpreted from the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC); its accurate determination being essential ...

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 ...

Mechanical Behavior of Piles in Typical Unsaturated Expansive and Collapsible Soils Upon Water Infiltration

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2022
Pile foundations are widely used in all types of soils including expansive and collapsible soils that are typically found in nature in a state of unsaturated condition.
