Abstract: Many constitutive models have been developed to describe hydromechanical characteristics of unsaturated soils. However, most models lack the capability to adequately simulate the change of the yield stress with suction, ...

Abstract: The small-strain shear modulus of soils is a key parameter in the design of geotechnical systems and analysis of the soil–structure response to earth and earth-supported infrastructure. However, the small-strain shear ...

Abstract: Fly ash is the most generated coal combustion by-product (CCP) and causes the most substantial disposal issues. The current practice of landfilling these materials is costly and ultimately reduces available landfill space. ...
