Triple-Shear Unified Solution for Bearing Capacity of Unsaturated Soft Soil Foundations with Hard Crust by Xueye Cao, Junhai Zhao, Jiaqiang Ji, Jielong Sun, Mingming Qiu

“…The bearing capacity of unsaturated soft soil foundations is affected by natural or artificial hard crust, due to the stress diffusion and closure effect. Based on the triple-shear unified solution of shear strength for unsaturated soil, the analytical solutions of critical edge load and critical load of unsaturated soft soil with hard crust are derived with the consideration of the lateral pressure coefficient K0≠1. …”
