The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of different
machine learning (ML) algorithms, namely, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Extreme …

The knowledge of unsaturated soil is indispensable for several hydrological and
geoenvironmental problems such as permeation of water through vadoze zone, ground …

The water retention curve (WRC) has become a key material function to define the
unsaturated behavior of soils and other particulate media. In many instances, it can be …

Rainfall-induced flow landslides in coarse-grained soils pose significant threats to
populations and structures due to their high velocities, long travel distance and the absence …

Shear strength of unsaturated soil is an important engineering property in various
geotechnical designs. In response to varying climatic conditions, unsaturated soil behaves …

This paper proposes a new water retention model for unsaturated soils, which takes into
account capillary condensation of adsorbed water. In this model, the degree of saturation of …

This paper introduces a methodology to predict the non-linear stiffness–suction and shear
strength–suction relationships for unsaturated soils within the lower suction range from the …

Shear strength is one of the fundamental properties of unsaturated soils. It has been found to
change with matric suction. Various shear strength equations have been proposed for …

The effect of stress state on the unsaturated shear strength of a Korean residual soil was
studied using modified triaxial tests. Experimental results show that the soil-water …

This paper provides a summary of nineteen empirical procedures or techniques that are
available for predicting or estimating the shear strength of unsaturated soils. While six of …
