“…[28,29,59,60,62]). This is difficult to capture with a conventional LC yield curve, as it would typically require a dramatic change of yield curve inclination at transitions between unsaturated and saturated conditions.…”

“…Both Terzaghi's and Meyerhof's equations were derived for the failure mechanism and resistance along the failure surface based on saturated soil mechanics principles. However, recent studies show that the shear strength and volume change characteristics of soils vary with its degree of saturation [3]- [8]. It is also found that the shallow foundations designed based on the saturated soil mechanics principles are often conservative.…”

“…Among the three interfaces, the air-water interface plays a critical role in the mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils [8] [11] [12]. The dynamic equilibrium among these bulk phases and interfaces can be expressed in terms of ( ) the value of degree of saturation, the matric suction can be computed and used in empirical or semi-empirical relationships for computing ultimate bearing capacity.…”

“…One important aspect to be considered when modelling unsaturated porous media is the so-called water retention curve (or liquid retention model -LRM) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. This curve represents the link between liquid saturation and capillary pressure hence closing the system of equations in addition to introducing each particular material behaviour into the computational model.…”
