ABSTRACT
Inspiration and development by J. Haman of a new theory concerning the mechanics of three-phase media is presented. This theory describes the simultaneous motion of the solid phase, water and gas in nonsaturated soil. The final equation obtained is related with the pore geometry. The explanation of the mechanisms of soil deformation and consolidation undertaken by the authors of this article was closely connected with Haman's way of thinking.
