Research presented over the past few decades by Coleman (1962), Matyas and Radhakrishna (1968), and Fredlund, 1993 has paved the way for the development of unsaturated soil constitutive surfaces. These surfaces describe the variation in void ratio or gravimetric water content of a soil undergoing a change in either net normal stress or soil suction. SoilVision allows you to develop unsaturated constitutive surfaces to describe the behavior of a soil undergoing compression and/or drying. The constitutive surfaces are developed in equation form which then allows the generated surface to form the basis for coupled seepage and volume change analysis.

Features:

• Mathematical representation of constitutive surfaces allows input into numerical solvers
• Ability to generate constitutive surfaces for soil compression and/or drying
• Professional report generation
• Comprehensive plotting capabilities

Application:

• Unsaturated coupled seepage and volume change modeling
