A state-of-the-art review has been conducted in this work on soil constitutive modeling,
which has emphasized on: soil type, ground-water conditions, loading conditions, structural …

The micro-to macro-scale bearing capacity characteristics of unsaturated fine granular soil
have remained unclear. This study is the first to investigate the capillary suction effect on the …

Soils above the groundwater table and near the ground surface are often partially saturated,
and the changes in the degree of saturation and matric suction caused by infiltration may …

This study presents a unified method for estimating the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow
foundations resting on variably saturated soils under a steady flow. The effective stress …

The seismic bearing capacity of strip footings resting on unsaturated soils subjected to
combined loading is investigated in this study using a combination of lower bound limit …

The mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils can be interpreted using either modified total
stress or a modified effective stress approach depending on the type of soils and various …

This study investigates the bearing capacity of strip footings resting on unsaturated soils
subjected to combined loading using the lower-bound limit analysis coupled with the finite …

The research focus of this paper is directed to investigate the behavior of a single model pile
and pile groups in sand under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. Forty different …

In this study, the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow strip footings resting on a geosynthetic-
reinforced soil mass subjected to inclined and eccentric combined loading is rigorously …

This study presents an ultimate bearing capacity formulation of strip foundations in
unsaturated soils within the framework of the Meyerhof theory. The flowchart of calculation …
