Quantifying the relationship between water retention and internal stress state of unsaturated soils has long been a challenge. Current effective stress formulations can effectively capture the relationship for coarse-grained soils, where capillary mechanisms dominate internal stress state over a wide range of saturation, but fail for fine-grained soils, particularly at low to intermediate saturation, where surface adsorption mechanisms dominate water retention and corresponding stress state. Internal stress state of compacted kaolinite specimens spanning saturation (S) from 0 to 0.73 is measured through Brazilian tensile strength tests. Changes observed in strength, strain, and stiffness are analyzed to calculate evolution of internal stress with saturation. A model is proposed to quantify the relationship between water retention and internal stress for fine-grained and coarse-grained soils at saturations over the full range (0
