Abstract: To characterize the role of specimen disturbance and structure in the hydromechanical behavior of collapsible soils, two sets of wetting-induced collapse and suction-controlled triaxial tests were conducted on intact and ...

Abstract: A new analytical method for investigating the stability of unsaturated soil slopes was developed by considering a 3D failure wedge under different steady-state infiltration and evaporation. In this light, the general limit ...

Abstract: Assessing the hydromechanical behavior of collapsible soils is always a challenging topic in an unsaturated soil mechanics context. Although numerous efforts have been made thus far to establish frameworks for explaining ...

Abstract: Aeolian loess deposits are among problematic collapsible soils whose substantial settlements due to the increase in moisture content, stress level, or a combination of both, frequently cause serious structural failures, ...
