摘要
This paper presents a coupled elastoplastic, constitutive model for predicting the hydraulic and stress-strain-strength behaviour of unsaturated soils. Hydraulic hysteresis in the water-retention behaviour is modeled as an elastoplastic process with the elastic region of the saturation degree. The effect of change in degree of saturation on the stress-strain-strength behaviour and the effect of change in void ratio on the water-retention behaviour are taken into consideration in the model, in addition to the effect of suction on the hydraulic and mechanical behaviour. Model predictions of the stress-strain and water-retention behaviour are compared with those obtained from triaxial tests on unsaturated soil along isotropic compression, triaxial stress paths with or without variation in suction.
