The shear strength of unsaturated soils
TLDR
In this paper, the transition from a saturated soil to an unsaturated soil is described in terms of two independent stress state variables, i.e., the shear strength of unsaturated and saturated soil.Abstract:
The shear strength of an unsaturated soil is written in terms of two independent stress state variables. One form of the shear strength equation isThe transition from a saturated soil to an unsatur...read more

A constitutive model for partially saturated soils
TL;DR: In this paper, a constitutive model for describing the stress-strain behavior of partially saturated soils is presented, formulated within the framework of hardening plasticity using two iodependent sets of stress variables: the excess of total stress over air pressure and the suction.

Quantifying the mechanical and hydrologic effects of riparian vegetation on streambank stability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified the effects of vegetation strips on bank stability and highlighted the need to select riparian vegetation strips based on hydrologic as well as mechanical and ecological criteria.

An elasto-plastic critical state framework for unsaturated soil
Simon J. Wheeler,V. Sivakumar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used data from a series of controlled suction triaxial tests on samples of compacted speswhite kaolin to develop an elasto-plastic critical state framework for unsaturated soil.
