Abstract: It is still an open problem to develop a model with a uniform theoretical treatment under various loading conditions. This paper aims to formulate such a model for describing both monotonic and cyclic behaviors of granular ...

Abstract: AbstractThe vapor sorption isotherm (VSI) can be employed not only for characterizing the soil properties but also for describing the seepage and deformation phenomena within soils. The adsorption and desorption VSIs of ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study aims to show how the interactions between clay particles and their environment can influence the fabric structuring of clayey soils, as well as to highlight the consequences on their mechanical behavior. ...
