* Unsaturated soil mechanics Dr. LI, Xu （李旭） Associate Professor, School of Civil EngineeringEmail: gipsy456@ Course contents Introduction to unsaturated soils Soil suction Seepage behavior of unsaturated soils Shear strength of unsaturated soils Deformation behavior of unsaturated soils Experimental technique for unsaturated soils Introduction to unsaturated soils What is Unsaturated soil? Why Unsaturated soil? Contents Homework Marks What is Unsaturated soil? Unsaturated soil: Pore space filled with water and air Saturated soil: All pore space filled with water Unsaturated zone Saturated soil generally have pore-voids filled with water at positive pore-water pressures Sr = 1 uw = 0 Unsaturated soil Air bubbles exist Sr 1 Rainfall induced landslide Po Shan Road landslide, Hong Kong Triggered by a heavy rainstorm on June 18, 1972 67 persons were killed 95% landslides triggered by rainfall (Sun and Tsui 2003) Why can rainfall induce landslide? Rainfall induced landslide What changes in pore pressures would result from a prolonged period of precipitation? How could reasonable pore pressures be predicted? Could the location of a potential slip surface change as a result of precipitation? How significantly would a slope stability analysis be affected if negative pore-water pressures were ignored? What would be the limit equilibrium factor of safety as a function of time? Collapse soil Soils that collapse upon wetting (i.e., a decrease in suction) Example: loess Swelling soil Increase permeability Evaporation and precipitation Active zone of unsaturated soils Expansive soil problem Cracking of house placed on expansive soils is a problem of enormous financial magnitude around the world Shallow foundations typically undergo 50 to 150 mm of vertical movement subsequent to construction, in western Canada. The zone of soil undergoing volume change on an annual basis is called the “ACTIVE ZONE”. Stability of vertical excavation How long will be the excav
