Modelling wetting collapse behaviour in unsaturated granite residual soil

Wetting collapse is referred to settlement due to the rise of groundwater table. The complexity of this behaviour has never been explained in existing soil models since its mechanics is not compliance with the effective stress concept. This is settlement under effective stress decrease whereas the n...
