The structure of unsaturated loess has a significant impact on its hydraulic and mechanical
properties. An elastoplastic model considering the structured evolution of unsaturated loess …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

Many constitutive models for unsaturated soils have been reported in the literature, but only
a few of them attempted to incorporate the influence of soil structure, which is a combination …

Climate change has resulted in increasing attention being paid to the effects of temperature
and humidity on vegetated soil. However, existing constitutive models rarely investigate the …

In this paper, an anisotropic non-associative constitutive model, based on the well-
established critical state soil mechanics framework, is developed for the natural and …

A diagnostic method to detect the inception of strain localization, which is based on the
singularity of a total acoustic tensor, was developed for variably saturated soils. The effective …

Evaluating collapse susceptibility of loess is essential for the construction of transportation
lines in loess regions as it provides guidance for ground treatment. For the existing methods …

Various mathematical formulations have been proposed to model moisture migration
coupled with heat transfer in unsaturated soils under non-isothermal conditions. These …

The non-unique critical state of soils with time-dependent behaviors is a significant issue in
geotechnical engineering problems. However, previous bounding surface plasticity models …

Sedimentary soils usually have an anisotropic structure, and they are generally unsaturated,
especially at shallow depths. Existing models for anisotropic and structured soils mainly …
