Constitutive Relations for Partially Saturated Soils Containing Gas Inclusions

This paper is concerned with a mathematical description of the undrained response of partially saturated soils having a continuous liquid phase (water) and a gas in the form of discrete bubbles. Two types of soil structures are considered. First is the case in which the gas inclusions, of size much smaller than the average particle size, are entrapped in the water phase. Second is the case in which the comparatively larger gas bubbles are …
