This study performed a series of experiments to examine the hydraulic‐mechanical properties of granite‐weathered residual soil in the Korean Peninsula. Particular attention was paid to the soil‐water characteristic curve (SWCC) and shear strength under various stress states and matric suction levels. The experimental results indicated the decisive influence of the stress state on the SWCC, notably in the low range of matric suction. In addition, the evolution of shear strength with suction became significant under high net confining stress. The effective stress using the stress‐independent SWCC could not describe the actual mechanical behaviors of the unsaturated soil. The relevant ef...
