Numerical analysis of seepage–deformation in unsaturated soils

Numerical analysis of Richards' problem for water penetration in unsaturated soils

Unsaturated flow of soils in unsaturated soils is an important problem in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering. Richards’ equation is often used to model this phenomenon in porous media. Obtaining appropriate solution to this equation therefore provides better means to studying the infiltration into unsaturated soils. Available 5 methods for the solution of Richards’ equation mostly f...

Unsaturated soils: From constitutive modelling to numerical algorithms

This paper presents an overview of constitutive modelling of unsaturated soils and the numerical algorithms for solving the associated boundary value problems. It first discusses alternative stress and strain variables that can be used in constitutive models for unsaturated soils. The paper then discusses the key issues in unsaturated soil modelling and how these issues can be incorporated into...

Estimation of Water Retention Curve for Unsaturated Fine Soils

In order to obtain the soil water retention curve of an unsaturated soil which is defined as the relationship between water content and suction, extensive laboratory tests are essential. These laboratory tests are usually costly and time consuming. Moreover, for most practical problems, it has been found that approximate unsaturated soil properties are adequate for analysis. Thus, empirical pro...
