Comprehensive studies on the prediction of unsaturated shear strength were performed using three commonly used empirical procedures: Fredlund et al. approach (published in 1996), Vanapalli et al. approach (published in 1996), and Khalili and Khabbaz method (published in 1998). Shear strength data published in the literature for 15 soils were examined using these procedures. Comparisons between measured and predicted values of unsaturated shear strength are presented for different soil types. The effect of stress state on the prediction of shear strength is also discussed.
