Introducing Unsaturated Soil Mechanics to Undergraduate Students Through the Net Stress Concepts

Introducing Unsaturated Soil Mechanics to Undergraduate Students Through the Net Stress Concepts

abstract: The purpose of this research was to introduce unsaturated soil mechanics to the undergraduate geotechnical engineering course in a concise and easy to understand manner. Also, it was essential to develop unsaturated soil mechanics teaching material that merges smoothly into current undergr...
