A micromechanical study of unsaturated granular material using DEM simulation and X-ray CT

In unsaturated soil, capillary bridges develop at the air-water interface within the pore space due to the cohesion deficiency on the side of the air phase. The interaction between capillary bridges and the soil particles make the mechanics of unsaturated soil complicated. Using the discrete element...
