Critical State Concept: Unsaturated Soils

Description

This lecture covers the critical state concept in geomechanics, focusing on unsaturated soils. It discusses the conditions for Terzaghi's effective stress validity, volumetric strain, preconsolidation pressure, and normal compression line. The lecture also explores stress paths, shear strength, and soil behavior in drained and undrained compression.
