Influence of saturation degree and role of suction in unsaturated soils behaviour: application to liquefaction

The effect of the pore fluid compressibility on liquefaction has been studied by various authors. But few papers have been published about the role of suction in cyclic behavior of unsaturated soils. Most of these works use Skempton coefficient B as a reference in terms of saturation degree to analy...
