Unsaturated soil mechanics has rapidly become a part of geotechnical engineering practice
as a result of solutions that have emerged to a number of key problems (or challenges). The …

Numerous curve-fitting equations have been proposed for soil-water characteristic curves.
While these equations have been of considerable value in geotechnical and …

Un modèle constitutif rigoureux de volume–masse est proposé dans le but de représenter le
mouillage–séchage de sols non saturés dans des conditions de chargement–déchargement …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of thermal effects on filter paper
calibration curves used to obtain the soil suction. When the temperature is significantly …

A simple thermo‐hydro‐mechanical (THM) constitutive model for unsaturated soils is
described. The effective stress concept is extended to unsaturated soils with the introduction …

The results of small and large strain triaxial tests and matrix suction measurements,
performed on a compacted low plasticity silt under different conditions of water content …

Atterberg limits of soils are the most basic and widely used geotechnical characterisation of
fine-grained soils. While the indicative values for different clay types (eg kaolinite, smectite …

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar a eficiência do Método do Ponto Material
Generalizado (GIMP) para a simulação de problemas de grandes deformações, e mais …

Anticipating the advantages of using er rather than sr for use in constitutive modeling,
Bardanis & Kavvadas (2006) proposed an empirical relation predicting er on the basis of …
