When unsaturated soils are affected by thermal radiation such as sunlight, geothermal heat, nuclear waste, and biochemical reactions, the soil temperature will increase and accelerate soil moisture migration, resulting in soil deformation. Therefore, in this paper, by extending the SFG model of the unified yield surface to consider the effect of temperature change on the unified yield surface, a yield surface constitutive model which can simultaneously reflect temperature-suction-stress is proposed. In order to verify the applicability of the model, the triaxial test of Jiangxi laterite at different temperatures is carried out to determine the calculation parameters of the model, and the fitting results of the model are compared with the experimental results, and the model is fitted and analyzed by referring to the test data of remolded clay used by Uchaipichat. The results show that the model can well reflect the stress-strain characteristics of soil during compression rebound, dehumidification and shear at different temperatures, which provides a theoretical support for predicting and solving the influence of temperature change on the stress deformation and shear strength of unsaturated soil in the corresponding engineering environment in the future, thus further enriching the constitutive theory of unsaturated soil under the influence of temperature.

Construction Project Management deals with different facets of construction management emphasizing the basic concepts that any engineering student is supposed to know. The major principles of project management have been derived through real life case studies from the field. Simplified examples have been used to facilitate better understanding of the concepts before going into the large and complex problems. Features Computer applications (Primavera and MS Project) used to explain planning, scheduling, resource leveling, monitoring and reporting. Highly illustrated with line diagrams, cash-flow diagrams, bar diagrams, line graphs to make the book interactive and easy to understand. Pedagogy includes solved examples, and chapter-end exercises comprising both descriptive and non-descriptive questions. Real life examples from sites of Delhi Metro construction, Delhi International Airport construction and many more. Case studies on preparation of documents for ISO 9001:2000, constructio...
