    Consolidation of Unsaturated Porous Media

    New search for: Fredlund, D. G.

    Abstract The necessary physical relations are presented for the formulation of a theory of consolidation model for unsaturated soils. This model is an extension of the saturated soil consolidation theory commonly used in geotechnical engineering. The model involves the simultaneous solution of two partial differential equations; one for the water phase and one for the air phase (i.e., two phase flow approach). The model allows the computation of pore-air and pore-water pressure as a function of time and space. These pressures can be substituted into the constitutive relations for the soil to compute void ratio, water content and degree of saturation.
