SMALL TO LARGE DEFORMATIONS OF UNSATURATED SOILS: AN APPLICATION TO EARTH STRUCTURES (SLADUS)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,
"In unsaturated soils, pores are filled partly by water and partly by air. Unsaturated soils occur naturally (as superficial ground above the water table) or in manmade structures (as compacted earth in infrastructure embankments, underground nuclear waste repositories and flood defences). Unsaturated soil mechanics has experienced significant advances during recent years, instigated by the use of ...

ANISOTROPIC RESPONSE OF UNSATURATED SOILS: A MICROSTRUCTURAL APPROACH (AREUS)
Start date: May 13, 2009, End date: May 12, 2011,
"The expression “unsaturated soil” is used in geotechnical engineering to identify a class of soils whose pores are partially filled with water and partially filled with air. Unsaturated soils occur naturally above the water table as a superficial ground layer, whose thickness depends on the balance of precipitation and evapo-transpiration and, hence, on the prevailing local climatic conditions.
