An understanding of the mechanical propertiesof unsaturated soils is crucial for geotechnical engineers worldwide, as well as those concerned with the interaction of structures with the ground. This book deals principally with fine-grained clays and silts, or solis containing coarser sand and gravel particles but with a significant percentage of fines.
