Unsaturated Soils: Water Retention and Mechanical Behavior

Description

This lecture covers the behavior of unsaturated soils, focusing on water retention and mechanical properties. Topics include the water retention curve, air entry value, hysteresis, permeability, stress paths, and shear strength. The instructor discusses the complex interaction between water, air, and solid phases in soils, as well as the impact of negative pore water pressure on soil mechanics.
