Micromechanics Models for Unsaturated, Saturated, and Dry Sands

摘要

In this report, models for saturated and unsaturated soils are reviewed. In addition, the applicability of micromechanics modelling for unsaturated, saturated, and dry sands are explored. The expressions for effective moduli and poisson's ratio are developed for all levels of saturation fo sands. The potential of these models for providing a better understanding of partly saturated soil behavior is also discussed in this report.
