A Discrete‐Element‐Based Pore‐Scale Hydromechanical Approach to Investigate the Hysteresis Effect on the Unsaturated At‐Rest Earth Pressure Coefficient by Hossein Ansari, Ghassem Habibagahi, Ehsan Nikooee

“…The results indicate that the earth pressure coefficient is highly dependent on the hydraulic path as well as the drying–wetting cycles, where a considerable reduction in the degree of hysteresis in K0 was observed during the second cycle of drying–wetting and this reduction is more prominent in the samples of lower density.…”
