## Abstract A conceptual model for describing effective saturation in fractured hard rock is presented. The fracture network and the rock matrix are considered as an equivalent continuum medium where each fracture is conceptualized as a porous medium of granular structure and the rock matrix is ass
Drained triaxial tests are conducted on natural and reinforced sand under various stress paths. Direct shear tests and pull-out tests are conducted on soil-reinforcement interface and on reinforcement, respectively. The effects of two types of reinforcement, viz, woven and non-woven geotextile and n
This study presents a novel hysteresis model based on van Genuchten's soil-moisture relationships. The proposed model yields a series of closed-form relationships in which two shape factors Λand Γ are determined from the main drying and wetting curves. Experimental and literature-cited data were use
