A hysteretic hydraulic constitutive model for unsaturated soils and application to capillary barrier systems (2020)
Journal Article
Scarfone, R., Wheeler, S. J., & Lloret-Cabot, M. (2022). A hysteretic hydraulic constitutive model for unsaturated soils and application to capillary barrier systems. Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment, 30, Article 100224. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gete.2020.100224

Unsaturated soils exhibit water retention hysteresis, with different water retention behaviour during drying and wetting paths. Water retention hysteresis has often been modelled using expressions for the main drying and main wetting water retention...

Accurate modeling and prediction of the variation of the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils at a very low degree of saturation has important implications in various engineering problems. Physical processes underlying the hydraulic behavior o...

A bounding surface mechanical model for unsaturated cemented soils under isotropic stresses (2020)
Journal Article
Bruno, A. W., Gallipoli, D., Rouainia, M., & Lloret-Cabot, M. (2020). A bounding surface mechanical model for unsaturated cemented soils under isotropic stresses. Computers and Geotechnics, 125, Article 103673. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compgeo.2020.103673

This paper presents a model that describes the gradual yielding of unsaturated cemented soils subjected to isotropic loading. The model relies on the definition of a “cementation bonding function” which accounts for the progressive breakage of inter-...
