Estimation of the soil-water characteristic curve from the grain size distribution of coarse-grained soils

Engineering Geology, 2020
Coarse-grained soil, such as aggregate and coarse sand, is commonly selected to construct a capillary barrier system (CBS). The barrier effect in the CBS is mainly dependent on the hydraulic properties of the coarse-grained soils. It is noted that direct

Soil-water characteristic curves of clays

Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2014
The drying suction – water content soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) of three clays (MX80 bentonite, yellow bentonite, and Speswhite kaolin) were experimentally determined using axis-translation, vapour equilibrium, and osmotic techniques. The shrinkage paths of the clays were established from Clod tests.

Comparison of Field and Laboratory Soil–Water Characteristic Curves

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2005
Results of field monitoring of moisture content and matric suction at the crest and berm of a large cut slope in completely decomposed granite in Hong Kong are reported. Field moisture content and matric suction clearly show that the volumetric water content increases as a result of rainfall infiltration and decreases as a result of evaporation ...

Soil Freezing and Soil Water Characteristic Curves

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1966
Abstract An earlier paper suggested that the soil water characteristic (SWC) of soil should have an analogue to be called the soil freezing characteristic (SFC) that could be obtained by freezing saturated soil in an apparatus functionally related to the pressure plate apparatus.

Soil water characteristic curve test and saturated-unsaturated seepage analysis in Jiangcungou municipal solid waste landfill, China

, 2020
In this study, an analysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) is undertaken at the Jiangcungou landfill in Xi’an, China. Using waste specimens gathered from the landfill, the soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is determined at the laboratory, and the ...

Soil-water characteristic curves of peaty soils

2020
In Singapore, peaty soils are found in several locations at shallow depths between 3m and 5m. Peaty soils, having low strength and high compressibility, have always been regarded as a poor geomaterial. In construction where peaty soils are encountered, they are generally replaced with more competent soil.

Advances in the modeling of the soil–water characteristic curve using pore-scale analysis

, 2020
A theoretical model for the prediction of the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) is presented using pore-scale analysis and three-dimensional approximations of pore geometry employing the concept of unit cells.

Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Compacted Clays

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 1997
Soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are presented for four compacted clay barrier soils that were prepared at different compaction water contents (dry, wet, and optimum water content) and compactive efforts (standard and modified Proctor). The SWCCs were measured in the laboratory using pressure plate extractors.

Study on the Test of Soil Water Characteristic Curve

Advanced Materials Research, 2011
The test of soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) and its mathematic model are present. The SWCC can describe the relationship between unsaturated soil matric suction and water content. Matric suction is an important parameter to address when studying the engineering properties of unsaturated soil.
