Description: The development of unsaturated soil mechanics in recent years has progressed at an accelerated rate. The advances made have highlighted the complexity underlying much of unsaturated soil behaviour and the need to develop conceptual frameworks capable of encompassing the description of material behaviour and the capacity for application. The approaches required need to span a wide range of subjects: selection of stress variables, mechanical and hydraulic constitutive models, coupled formulations, implementation algorithms, incorporation of new environmental variables such as temperature, and applications. This special issue contains a number of recent key developments in those topics by leading researchers in the field.
Subject: unsaturated soil mechanics; material behaviour; stress variables; environmental variables
