Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, D. G.

Fredlund, Harianto Rahardjo, John Wiley & Sons, 1993, 047185008X, 9780471850083, 517 pages. The principles and concepts for unsaturated soils are developed as extensions of saturated soils. Addresses problems where soils have a matric suction or where pore-water pressure is negative. Covers theory, measurement and use of the fundamental properties of unsaturated soils--permeability, shear strength and volume change. Includes a significant amount of case studies..
