Extending modified Cam-Clay to unsaturated soils by incorporating a scaled stress variable

This paper extends the modified Cam-Clay model to describe the behaviour of unsaturated soils by replacing the effective stress with the scaled stress. The scaled stress accounts for the mechanical effect of capillarity by factoring Bishop’s stress with a power function of degree of saturation. The...
