The definitive guide to unsaturated soil— from theworld’s experts on the subject

This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund andRahardjo’s publication, Soil Mechanics for UnsaturatedSoils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils.It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of theart of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner inwhich practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved.Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behaviorpresented in the earlier book, this new publication places greateremphasis on the importance of the “soil-water characteristic curve”in solving practical engineering problems, as well as thequantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based onthe use of weather data. Topics covered include:

Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil
State Variables for Unsaturated Soils
Measurement and Estimation of State Variables
Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils
Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions
Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils
Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems
Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils
Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils
Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils
Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and LimitEquilibrium
Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils
Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils
Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters
Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils
