In this research, two mechanisms to cause the deformation because of wetting were considered: (1) the deformation induced by shear strength decreases and (2) the volumetric deformation (swell or collapse) because of wetting. The effects of low as-compacted water content and a low-quality compaction zone behind the wall face on the wall behavior were investigated. As result of the simulations, the wall deformations (face deflections and reinforced-soil settlements) and reinforcement tensions (maximum tensions) are presented at the end of construction and after periods of surface-water infiltration.}, number={12}, journal={JOURNAL OF GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING}, author={Kim, Wan Soo and Borden, Roy H.}, year={2013}, month={Dec}, pages={2110–2124} }

Shear strength data published in the literature for 15 soils were examined using these procedures. Comparisons between measured and predicted values of unsaturated shear strength are presented for different soil types. The effect of stress state on the prediction of shear strength is also discussed. }, number={12}, journal={CANADIAN GEOTECHNICAL JOURNAL}, author={Kim, Wan Soo and Borden, Roy H.}, year={2011}, month={Dec}, pages={1886–1900} }
