Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
