Development and application of new constitutive models to simulate the hydraulic-mechanical behaviour of unsaturated swelling clay
Unsaturated swelling clays are used in engineered barriers for waste disposal facilities due to their self-sealing ability and low hydraulic conductivity. The characterization of unsaturated clay behaviour is required for design of these barriers. In recent years, several small-scale laboratory and...
