It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the \"soil-water characteristic curve\" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data.
