Pore‐scale analytic model to calculate the suction stress in partially saturated soils

Abstract The expression of effective stress in unsaturated conditions has remained controversial ever since the concept was first proposed in the 1950s by Bishop. In this paper, based on the first law of thermodynamics, a novel approach is proposed to calculate the effective stress in unsaturated so...
