Abstract: This paper has proposed a closed-form solution for two-dimensional (2D) plane strain consolidation in unsaturated soils with lateral and vertical semipermeable drainage boundaries under time-dependent loading. By using the ...

Abstract: Experimental studies found that water flow in clay might not obey Darcy’s law. In some fine-grained soils, the water flow could occur only when the threshold gradient was exceeded. This study investigates the effects of ...
