Relationship between shear strength and soil water characteristic curve of an unsaturated granitic residual soil
The three shear strength parameters that are required to define a failure envelope of an unsaturated soil are c' (apparent cohesion),φ' (effective angle of friction), and φh (shear strength change with change in matric suction). A soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the wat...
