Unsaturated Soils: Research & ApplicationsUnsaturated Soils: Research and Applications contains 247 papers presented at 6th International Conference on Unsaturated Soils (UNSAT2014, Sydney, Australia, 2-4 July 2014). The two volumes provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical advances in a wide variety of topics related to unsaturated soil mechanics: - Unsaturated Soil Behavior Unsaturated Soils: Research and Applications presents a wealth of information, and is of interest to researchers and practising engineers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. These proceedings are dedicated to Professor Geoffrey E. Blight (1934-2013), who passed in November 2013. |

Until recently, most laboratory methods for validating or invalidating the effective stress principle have been based on shear strength or other types of failure tests. Here some of the latest developments to examine the validity of the ...
Some researchers have shown intrinsic relations exist betweena soil's SWRC and shear strength (e.g., Vanapalli et al., 1996) or in the context of effective stress, between a soil's SWRC and its SSCC (Lu and Griffiths, 2004; Lu et al., ...
... for shear strength and K0 consolidation tests (after Oh et al., 2013). where σ1 is the total vertical stress and σ3 is the all around or total horizontal stress. The lateral earth pressure coefficient defined by the effective stress ...
Micromechanical aspects of the shear strength of wet granular materials, International Journal Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, DOI: 10.1002/nag.695. Fisher, R.A. (1926). On the capillary forces in an ideal soil, ...
... that the friction angle with respect to net normal stress does not vary with matric suction and is equal to the effective stress friction angle for saturated soil. Further, the suction is assumed to remain constant during shearing.
