Modeling the soil–water retention curves while the soil is deforming [PDF]
A porous-solid model based on the grain and pore size distributions of the soil is coupled with a mechanical model to simulate the soil–water retention curves while the material is deforming. During the determination of the main drying curve, the soil is

Modeling the soil-water retention curves for highly deforming soils [PDF]
A porous-solid model based on the grain and pore size distributions of the soil is coupled with a mechanical model to simulate the soil-water retention curves while the material is deforming. During the determination of the main drying curve, the soil is

Chemical migration during soil water retention curve evaluation [PDF]
Wetting and drying (W-D) cycles can induce important elemental migrations in soils. The main purpose of this work was to study the possible existence of soil chemical elemental migrations in samples submitted to repeated W-D cycles during evaluations of ...

Soil Water Thermodynamic to Unify Water Retention Curve by Pressure Plates and Tensiometer [PDF]
The pressure plate method is a standard method for measuring the pF curves, also called soil water retention curves, in a large soil moisture range from saturation to a dry state corresponding to a tension pressure of near 1500 kPa. However, the pressure

SimuIating landsIides using two-phase two-point material point method [PDF]
Material point method (MPM) is an effective numerical method for large-deformation analysis under unsaturated conditions. In the previous studies, water retention ability and permeability function were assumed to be Independent of soil deformation ...

Evaluating The Ability of Parametric Pedotransfer Functions for Estimating The Wetting Branch of The Soil Water Retention Curve (Case study: Boinzahra) [PDF]
Soil water retention curve in many studies, including simulating the movement of water and solutes, irrigation and drainage issues is required. This soil hydraulic property was determined by direct (field and laboratory) and indirect methods.

Order Out of Chaos in Soil–Water Retention Curves
Water flow in porous media is one of many phenomena in nature that can demonstrate both simple and complex behaviors. A soil–water retention curve (SWRC) is needed to characterize this flow properly. This curve relates the soil water content and the matric potential (or porepressure), being fundamental for simulating unsaturated soil behaviors.
