DOI: 10.1080/19648189.2017.1363666
Abstract: Abstract A simplified model based on the shakedown theory (Zarka method) has been developed in this study for unsaturated expansive soils subjected to wetting and drying cycles. This method determines directly the stabilised limit state.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cgj-2015-0574
Abstract: A mechanical approach for unsaturated expansive soils considering double porosity has been developed based on the porous media theory. In this approach, the adsorbed and the capillary water, as well as the micropores and macropores,… read more here.
