Mechanical behavior of a floating model pile in unsaturated expansive soil associated with water infiltration: Laboratory investigations and numerical simulations
Pile foundations are widely designed extending principles of saturated soil mechanics assuming drained conditions (i.e. effective stress) even in expansive soil deposits despite the fact the soil around the pile is in a state of unsaturated condition. The mechanical behavior of in-situ pile foundati...
