Prediction of unsaturated shear strength from microstructurally based effective stress

This work aims at investigating the adequacy of microstructurally based effective stress to predict the shear strength of unsaturated soils over a wide range of suction. For that purpose, shear strength data are acquired on a silty clay soil through two types of unsaturated triaxial tests: suction c...
