This is a collection of papers reports on advances in geo-engineering aspects of unsaturated soils. Divided into five sections, this volume covers advances in testing techniques, engineering behaviour, constitutive modeling, and numerical modeling and includes case histories. The section on engineering behavior includes findings concerning factors affecting the water retention surface; volume change of soils during wetting and drying; peak, ultimate and residual strength of soils; small strain modulii and shear wave responses. The sections on Constitutive and Numerical modelling address major developments in coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical elasto-plastic models.
