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. |

When a fine-grained soil is subjected to a subfreezing temperature, part of the water in the soil pores first solidifies into ice, i.e. pore ice particles. Close to soil and ice particles, a film of unfrozen water remains.
Capillary water will only contribute to inter-particle stress (the second term of eq. (2)) through surface tension and negative pore water pressure, which unavoidably leads to small or zero inter-particle stress when soil is dry or ...
simulating inter-particle stress due to capillary water. A number of models based on consideration of idealized grain, pore, and liquid geometry provide insight into capillary-induced intergranular forces and the SSCC.
Particle size distribution can have a marked effect on the mechanical properties of compacted earth. Wu et al. (2012) studied the effect of grain size distribution on compressive strength by mixing a natural soil (clay-silt 88.59% and ...
