Hysteresis effects on mechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils
In response to varying climatic conditions, soils above groundwater table and near the ground surface undergo drying and wetting. Under the same stress state, a soil exhibits different water contents and mechanical behaviour when it follows a drying process as opposed to following a wetting process....
