Description
As a novel subject in soil mechanics and foundation engineering, matric suction variation and saturation degree is now a considerable factor in both research and practice. Since most superstructures interact not with saturated or dried soils but with partially saturated strata, it is important to study on matric suction and suction stress effects on soil monotonic/cyclic behavior. The significance of the topic, thereupon, has recently interested researchers worldwide to the field of unsaturated soil mechanics.
