Unified state boundary surface model for clay and sand under saturated and unsaturated conditions

A unified state boundary surface that defines the upper limit of the specific volume of saturated clay and sand is first derived. It is extended to unsaturated soils by applying Bishop’s effective stress and using the effective degree of saturation as an independent state variable. Then, a critical...
