There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics but this book is different. Unsaturated soil mechanics is only one aspect of a continuous range of soil mechanics studies that extends from the rheology of high water content soil slurries to the mechanics of soft soi... Lees meer.

Unsaturated soil is a three-phase material that is ubiquitous on the Earth s surface and exhibits complex behaviour which becomes more complex in response to the Earth s changing climate and increasing engineering activities. This is because the former affects its mois... Lees meer.

Jatropha curcas seed oil consists of main fatty acids such as palmitic acid 13.89 stearic acid 7.16 oleic acid 46.40 and linoleic acid 31.96 . J. curcas seed oil contains high percentage 78 of unsaturated fatty acids. This made the oil suitable for food cosme... Lees meer.
