Estimating Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity in Unsaturated Soil Using Soil Moisture Sensors
Unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K) is a measurement of soil water-retaining ability in unsaturated soil. The unsaturated hydraulic properties are necessary to predict the movement of water in unsaturated soil. The current study aims to create an alternative experimental device to estimate theKusing soil moisturesensors. The experimental

Revisiting the thermodynamics of hardening plasticity for unsaturated soils [PDF]
A thermodynamically consistent extension of the constitutive equations of saturated soils to unsaturated conditions is often worked out through the use a unique 'effective' interstitial pressure, accounting equivalently for the pressures of the ...

Modelling large deformation problems in unsaturated soils [PDF]
Applications of unsaturated soil mechanics often involve large deformations and displacements. This is the case of collapse behaviour of low density soils or the unrestrained swelling of expansive clays.

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 ...

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

On-sample water content measurement for a complete local monitoring in triaxial testing of unsaturated soils [PDF]
To provide a complete local monitoring of the state of an unsaturated soil sample during triaxial testing, a local water content measurement device was adapted to a triaxial device comprising the measurement of local displacements (Hall effect ...

The overconsolidated unsaturated soils emerge in many engineering projects. The constitutive models for unsaturated soils are very complicated due to the complex mechanical beahviour of overconsolidated unsaturated soils. A modified constitutive model is
