Description

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.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction to Unsaturated Soil Mechanics (pages 1–19): Chapter 2 Phase Properties and Relations (pages 20–37): Chapter 3 Stress State Variables (pages 38–63): Chapter 4 Measurements of Soil Suction (pages 64–106): Chapter 5 Flow Laws (pages 107–123): Chapter 6 Measurement of Permeability (pages 124–149): Chapter 7 Steady?State Flow (pages 150–177): Chapter 8 Pore Pressure Parameters (pages 178–216): Chapter 9 Shear Strength Theory (pages 217–259): Chapter 10 Measurement of Shear Strength Parameters (pages 260–296): Chapter 11 Plastic and Limit Equilibrium (pages 297–345): Chapter 12 Volume Change Theory (pages 346–373): Chapter 13 Measurements of Volume Change Indices (pages 374–396): Chapter 14 Volume Change Predictions (pages 397–418): Chapter 15 One?Dimensional Consolidation and Swelling (pages 419–439): Chapter 16 Two? and Three?Dimensional Unsteady?State Flow and Nonisothermal Analyses (pages 440–477):
