Abstract: This paper addresses an advanced and unified thermomechanical constitutive model for soils. Based on experimental evidence showing the nonlinear and irreversible thermomechanical responses of saturated soils, the constitutive ...

Abstract: The long-debated effective stress definition of unsaturated soils is believed to be correlated to suction, the degree of saturation, and the less mentioned interfacial areas. The tensile strength of unsaturated soils is ...
