Shakedown modeling of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to wetting and drying cycles
It is important to model the behavior of unsaturated expansive soils subjected to wetting and drying cycles because they alter significantly their hydro-mechanical behavior and therefore cause a huge differential settlement on shallow foundations of the structure. A simplified model based on the sha...
