Abstract: A soil’s hydraulic conductivity is a highly nonlinear function of water content, decreasing many orders of magnitude from its saturated state to dry state. This nonlinearity is a macroscopic manifestation of microscopic ...

Abstract: A soil’s elastic modulus is a fundamental property defining the soil’s reversible stress-strain relation under mechanical and environmental loadings. It has been observed that a soil’s elastic modulus can increase up to ...

Abstract: Suction stress, the part of effective stress induced by soil–water interaction, is the source for the intrinsic cohesion of fine-grained soil slurries. Here, the previous unified effective stress equation is generalized ...
