Abstract
In this paper, a synthesis on referring topics to unsaturated soils mechanics is presented to incentive their practice in geotechnical engineering. Some important aspects are presented as: unsaturated soil characteristics, suctions concepts, stress state variable and some theories to portray some mechanical properties like as volume change and shear strength and on the other hand, hydraulic properties as permeability in unsaturated soils.
