A three-dimensional hysteretic soil-water retention curve [PDF]
Géotechnique, 2013 One of the most important features in unsaturated soil mechanics is the soil-water retention curve and its coupling to the mechanical component of soil behaviour. It has long been recognised that the retention curve exhibits significant hysteresis, and that it is affected by the specific volume.

Estimation of Soil Water Retention Curve Based on Pore Freezing Kinetics
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental ScienceAbstract The effect of pore radius can be observed during different processes that happen in geological media, taking a fundamental role during inter-pore ice formation and soil freezing. This can be expressed by the freezing characteristic function that relates chemical potential equilibrium and soil pore size distribution through the ...

A simple device to measure soil water retention curve
Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication, 2019 The soil water retention curve is very critical in the assessment of unsaturated soil behavior. In the past, with the help of the axis translation technique, the pressure plate method was usually used to measure the soil water retention curve.
