Hysteresis model for soil-water characteristic curve under dynamic conditions
The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is essential to describe the behavior of unsaturated soils. The capillary hysteresis is an important effect that should be accounted in the equations for SWCC.

Soil-water characteristic curve of polypropylene fibrereinforced sandy soil
Fibre reinforcement is considered a good alternative for improving the geotechnical properties of soil. However, studies that investigate its behaviour, accounting for the unsaturated condition, and the hydraulic behaviour of soil mixtures with fibre, are limited.
