Abstract: A simple fully coupled constitutive model for unsaturated soils is presented and used to simulate the behavior of unsaturated soils subjected to undrained conditions. The mechanical model is based on the modified critical ...

Abstract: This paper establishes a fully analytical equation for the relative hydraulic conductivity of soils through a probabilistic porous network model. Under this approach, a parameter, accounting for the proportion of pores of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the modeling of the phenomenon of collapse upon wetting using the effective stress approach. To this purpose, Bishop’s effective stress equation is applied in addition to an elastoplastic framework for ...
