This Geotechnical Special Publication contains over 215 papers
presented during the Fourth International Conference on Unsaturated
Soils held in Carefree, Arizona on April 2-5, 2006. These papers
document the experience of researchers and practitioners from
around the world, concerning a vast array of unsaturated soil
problems. Theoretical and methodological advances in laboratory
testing of shear strength and volume change behavior, suction
measurement techniques, soil water characteristic behavior,
constitutive and numerical modeling, microscale modeling,
foundation behavior, heave of slabs and pavements,
evapotraspirative covers, geophysical applications, liquefaction
and soil dynamics, pavements and slopes, soil-atmospheric
interaction, desiccation and shrinkage, in situ testing, seepage,
flow of water and gas, and design of waste depositories with
emphasis on temperature effects are among the topics dealt with in
the framework of unsaturated soil behavior. Materials addressed
include natural soils, both expansive and non-expansive, chemically
stabilized soil, geosynthetics, geocomposite soils, and bentonite
products.
