Contents Notes |
Phase properties and relations -- Stress state variables -- Measurements of soil suction -- Flow laws -- Measurement of permeability -- Steady-state flow -- Pore pressure parameters -- Shear strength theory -- Measurement of shear strength parameters -- Plastic and limit equilibrium -- Volume change theory -- Measurements of volume change indices -- Volume change predictions -- One-dimensional consolidation and swelling -- Two- and three-dimensional unsteady-state flow and nonisothermal analyses. The principles and concepts for unsaturated soils are developed as extensions of saturated soils. Addresses problems where soils have a matric suction or where pore-water pressure is negative. Covers theory, measurement and use of the fundamental properties of unsaturated soils--permeability, shear strength and volume change. Includes a significant amount of case studies. |
