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. |

For a given soil, the mineralogical composition and soil structure should not change largely during loading and/ or wetting/drying, the void ratio, stress-history and stress state may be main factors affecting the SWCC when the soil is ...
Therefore, from the view of constitutive modeling of unsaturated soil behaviour, the effect of the stress-state on the SWCC is not necessary to be considered. Figure 6 shows the SWCCs for two unsaturated compacted specimens A and B with ...
2007a). the change in the SWCC is obvious during loading and/or suction change. A simple method is proposed to use void ratio as a void quantity to take the change in void into consideration. Figure 8 shows the measured relation between ...
For almost the same density, SWCC of pre-consolidated specimen is located at the right side of that of compacted one and thus the air-entry value of preconsolidated specimen is greater than that of comFigure 11. SWCCs and deformation of ...
Unsaturated soil theory relies heavily on Soil Water Characteristic Curves (SWCC), which can be established experimentally. The primary use of an SWCC is to convert moisture content, which is easily determined, to matric suction.
