An elastoplastic model is proposed in this paper that incorporates the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) for obtaining soil parameters of unsaturated soil. The SWCC is shown to govern the rate of change in the soil parameters for the elastoplastic model with respect to matric suction. A series...
