Modeling the Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Behavior of Unsaturated Geotechnical Materials Based on Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamic Theory

A new hydro-mechanical model for unsaturated geotechnical materials based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory is presented in this paper. Common concepts, such as yield criterion and flow rules, are not involved in the constitutive relationships, and are replaced with the thermodynamic conce...
