Abstract: This paper is concerned with a mathematical description of the undrained response of partially saturated soils having a continuous liquid phase (water) and a gas in the form of discrete bubbles. Two types of soil structures ...

Abstract: This paper presents a framework for the incorporation of the gradation curve in the description of mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils at low to medium degrees of saturation. Unsaturated soils have self-equilibrating ...

Abstract: This article presents experimental results of tests on soil‐structure interfaces carried out on a new “ring simple shear” apparatus specially developed at Ecole Nationale des Ponts and Chaussées, Paris, for such studies. ...

Abstract: An average size of pores and pore-size distribution (POSD) is often required for advanced constitutive models for soils adopted for hydro-mechanical-thermal coupled problems. There are a number of methods available for ...
