Abstract: In the past 15 years, different researches have shown that the effective-stress approach represents a simple and precise way to generate fully coupled constitutive models for unsaturated soils. This is so because the ...

Abstract: Porous models are built using the current pore-size distribution of the material and can reproduce the phenomenon of hysteresis during wetting–drying cycles. The term current pore-size distribution means that the size of ...
