Model for the prediction of shear strength with respect to soil suction
TLDR
In this paper, the authors show that shear strength data from the research literature suggests that there is a nonlinear increase in the strength of unsaturated soils in the presence of saturated soils.Abstract:
Experimental studies on unsaturated soils are generally costly, time-consuming, and difficult to conduct. Shear strength data from the research literature suggests that there is a nonlinear increas...read more

Suction Stress Characteristic Curve for Unsaturated Soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the suction stress characteristic curve (SSCC) for unsaturated soil is presented, and the experimental evidence shows that both Mohr-Coulomb failure and critical state failure can be well represented by the SSCC concept.

A unique relationship for χ for the determination of the shear strength of unsaturated soils
Nasser Khalili,M. H. Khabbaz +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a unique relationship between the effective stress parameter chi and the ratio of suction over the air entry value (suction ratio) is proposed, based on the shear strength data reported in the literature.

A closed‐form equation for effective stress in unsaturated soil
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a closed-form equation for effective stress in unsaturated soil, which is intrinsically related to the soil water characteristic curve by two pore parameters: the air entry pressure and pore size spectrum number.
