Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023 The coarse-fine mixed soils are widely distributed in natural and geotechnical engineering practices. Their strength is vital to the stability of geotechnical engineering (e.g., slopes, foundation pits and retaining walls). However, the unsaturated shear

A Review on the Resilient Response of Unsaturated Subgrade Soils
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020 Considering the great contribution of subgrade modulus to the overall performance of roads or railways, it is crucial to provide the best prediction of resilient modulus for their foundations. Incorporating the seasonal variation of moisture content, the

Equations for soil freezing characteristics curves based on the thermodynamics principles
Geoderma, 2023 Experimental studies related to the thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemo (THMC) behaviors of unsaturated frozen soils are cumbersome, expensive, and time consuming.

, 2010 The paper presents a comparison between compacted and reconstituted soils in terms of microstructure, and hydraulic and mechanical response. It is commonly assumed that reconstituted and compacted soils exhibit a fundamentally different behaviour due to different microstructures.

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Several researchers have reported that Bishop’s mean effective stress decreases in unsaturated soils under fully undrained cyclic loading conditions, and unsaturated soils are finally liquefied in a similar manner as saturated soils.

Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Unsaturated Silty Soils
Applied Sciences, 2023 In general, the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of shallow foundations on unsaturated soils is characterized by the conventional shear strength (SS) parameters in which saturated theories are applied.

Bearing capacity assessment of bored piles equipped with expander body systems using the mechanics of unsaturated soils [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2021 Bearing capacity of single piles are occasionally predicted using the renowned theoretical methods (α and β methods). These methods are based on laboratory tests, which can be time-consuming, but also applicable in foundation engineering practice for ...

Modelling shear strength of compacted soils [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Compacted soils constitute most engineering projects such as earth dams, embankments, pavements, and engineered slopes because of their high shear strength and low compressibility.

Permeability Functions for Unsaturated Soils
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997 This paper examines the three categories of permeability functions for unsaturated soils, including empirical, macroscopic, and statistical models. The theoretical backgrounds and performance of each category are examined against various experimental data.

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 Compacted unsaturated soils show distinct behavioural patterns when compared with their saturated counterparts, and these behavioural patterns become more and more complex when soil is subjected to wetting, such as swelling or collapse and loss of shear ...
