The soil moisture content at shearing and other factors, including dry density and grain size,
influence its shear strength. This study investigated the effect of moisture content at …

Unsaturated soils are the major component of both natural and artificial earth structures, and
they exhibit less predictable behavior than saturated soils. Presently, the world is …

Net normal stress,(su a) and matric suction,(u au w) are the stress state variables for
unsaturated soils. Stress state variables are the state of stresses in soil that govern the shear …

Soil in which the voids contain both water and air is typically referred to as unsaturated soil.
In recent times, the attention in both research and practical applications regarding the …

Soil exists mainly in unsaturated conditions. Therefore, accurate prediction of the soil shear
strength for unsaturated conditions also becomes equally important for the geotechnical …
