Study on the Consolidation Theories for Unsaturated Soils

Dr. Wu, Yongkang

Abstract A brief overview of the development of the consolidation theories for unsaturated soils is given in Chap. 2 . The theories still involve many limitations and difficulties and cannot be applied to solve large-scale problems in practical engineerings. This is the main reason why the saturated consolidation theories are generally adopted instead of the unsaturated consolidation theories in the consolidation analysis of engineering applications. Moreover, the multi-physics coupling effects, which are particularly significant in high-earth rockfill dams, have rarely been taken into consideration in the current consolidation analyses of earth-rock dams.
