... unsaturated hydrophobic grains, facilitating the estimation of corresponding pore water pressure. This study is the first to capture the interaction between microscopic features (i.e. curvature and air–water interface area) and macroscopic responses (i.e. pore water pressure, dilatancy and shear strength...

... to the specimen simultaneously. Emphasis is placed on the effects of different combinations of horizontal and vertical stresses on the behaviour of strain, pore water pressure, mobilised friction and modulus. Test results indicated that cyclic behaviour strongly depended on the 3D stress conditions or stress...
