Estimation of hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils under entire suction range
The hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils controls their water flow. Most numerical softwares adopt the hydraulic conductivity function (HCF) as the input parameter to simulate the water flow in unsaturated soils.

A numerical technique for modeling the behavior of single piles in unsaturated soils [PDF]
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 elasto-plastic model for unsaturated soil incorporating the effects of suction and degree of saturation on mechanical behaviour [PDF]
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.

Estimation of the hydraulic parameters of unsaturated samples by electrical resistivity tomography [PDF]
In situ and laboratory experiments have shown that electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is an effective tool to image transient phenomena in soils. However, its application in quantifying soil hydraulic parameters has been limited.
