Due to the rapid cracking, sliding and packing of its geomaterials, a landslide dam (LD) is
usually weaker in structure than the undisturbed ground and is more vulnerable to seepage …

In this paper, capillary stresses and water retention of regular arrangements of rough
spherical particles are analysed to shed light on the effective stress in unsaturated soils …

The migration of contaminant through soil is usually modeled using the advection‐
dispersion equation and assumes that the porous media is stationary without introducing a …

The input parameters for the hardening law for the elasto-plastic constitutive model of
unsaturated soils are generally fitting parameters that control the degree of hardening …

Although the soil, water and air coupling theory has been deductively derived from the three-
phase mixture theory, assumptions and interpretations inherent in soil mechanics are also …

If the construction of earth structures is regarded as an artificial mechanical action using soil
materials, then unsaturated soil mechanics is the basic logical tool guiding the thinking …

Bentonite materials have been considered as a candidate material for engineered barriers
in transuranium (TRU) waste disposal facilities due to their physical and chemical …
