Abstract: Among the many constitutive equations, the moisture-suction relationship, also known as the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), is one of the important relationships needed for modeling the dynamics of unsaturated soils ...

Abstract: Matric suction is one of the important variables used to characterize the deformation behavior of unsaturated soil. The stress-strain relationship and the governing differential equations are the two elements in which ...

Abstract: A numerically stable and computationally efficient finite-element model for analyzing the dynamic response of unsaturated soil profiles in terms of total stresses is presented in this paper. The highly nonlinear, fully ...
