A number of analytical simple models to describe state surfaces for volume and degree of saturation change of partially saturated soils subjected to confined or isotropic compression are proposed on the basis of observed qualitative behaviour. The results of a number of tests performed and others taken from published results are then used to find, through the appropriate optimization techniques, the optimum analytical expressions.
