The challenges of unsaturated soils in Asian geotechnical engineering are examined. This volume compiles papers presented at the Asian Conference on Unsaturated Soils (UNSAT-ASIA 2000) held in Singapore. It addresses the unique properties and behaviors of soils in unsaturated conditions, which are prevalent across many regions in Asia. The research presented aims to advance the understanding and application of geotechnical principles for infrastructure development in these specific environments.

The proceedings from the Asian Conference on Unsaturated Soils (UNSAT-ASIA 2000) offer a focused collection of research pertinent to geotechnical engineers working in the region. The papers likely cover a range of theoretical and applied topics, reflecting the specific challenges posed by unsaturated soils in Asian climates and geological conditions. This compilation serves as a valuable resource for professionals seeking to understand and address these complex soil behaviors in their projects.
